Every cook needs this classic homemade apple crisp recipe in their arsenal. Now maybe I just think that because it’s an uber favorite of mine. It reminds me of childhood. It reminds me of cold nights with warm desserts. It reminds me of fall. It reminds me of family. It reminds me of many good things. So, yeah, I might be partial to this dessert. BUT…what’s not to love? Apples? Check! Cinnamon? Check! Oatmeal? Check! All that adds up to a winner!
How to peel apples quickly
Homemade apple crisp is simple to make with pantry staples. The key is to peel and dice your apples into small bite-sized pieces. I recommend an apple slicer and corer to quickly peel and slice your apples. Seriously, this tool is a game changer for apple peeling – just check out this video.
How to make apple crisp
Once your apples are diced, combine them with sugar, flour and water and dump into your pan. Then, mix your topping ingredients in a seperate container and spread evenly over your apple mixture. Finally, just bake! That’s it! Serve warm or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious homemade dessert.

You’re welcome! I do love it — it’s super simple, but still a classic recipe that just screams “FALL!” to me!
I do something similar to this with baked apples, but this is definitely the quick version and it would be just as delicious! Thank you for sharing it to the Sunshine Life Link Up!
Can this be frozen uncooked or is it best to cook chill and then freeze
