Easy Apple Crisp with Oat Topping Recipe

Review Rewritten: Working with fresh fruit often brings out the best in simple recipes that truly accentuate the natural flavors. This particular recipe accomplishes just that. Though I added a couple of extra ingredients and tweaked the method slightly, I aimed to honor the original recipe and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. To begin, I selected a variety of six baking apples to provide a rich tapestry of flavors and textures. After peeling, coring, and dicing the apples, I tossed them with sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of dry minute tapioca to address the apples' high water content. Surprisingly, the tapioca thickened the juiciness of the apples without compromising their texture, while a dash of fresh nutmeg added a delightful aromatic dimension. For the crispy topping, I opted for a different technique. Preferring a crunchy yet non-gritty topping, I used softened butter instead of melted butter. By first mixing the dry ingredients and then incorporating the butter by hand, I achieved a delightful crumbly texture resembling pea shapes. The final result after baking was truly exquisite. Overall, this recipe is phenomenal and undoubtedly one that I will revisit time and again.

I decided to use Granny Smith apples for my apple crisp recipe and made it in my cast iron skillet instead of a traditional baking dish. As the oven preheated, I melted butter in the skillet and layered the apple mixture over it, then topped it with the crumble. The final result was a beautiful apple crisp that could belong on the cover of a gourmet magazine. The taste flooded me with nostalgic memories of my Grandma's apple crisp from when I was young. This dish was not only incredibly delicious but also comforting for my soul.

There's no doubt about it - this simple apple crisp was absolutely fantastic. Despite my usual aversion to oatmeal in toppings (my partner loves it, hence why I decided to make this), this dish exceeded all expectations. The recipe was flawless, with just the right balance of spices and sweetness, a perfect ratio of topping to apples, and a topping so crispy that you can hear it crunch with every bite. This dessert was a real delight.

I like to enhance the flavor by adding a generous amount of crushed pecans and occasionally sprinkling on some nutmeg. A bit of extra butter is never a problem for me. I prefer baking it in a rectangular 8x11.5 inch dish, and I always include more apples for extra sweetness.

I absolutely adore this recipe! I swapped rolled oats for steel-cut oats and opted for 8 apples as mine were on the smaller side. After 40 minutes in the oven, I decided to broil it on Low for an extra 5 minutes, and the result was simply fantastic. What I appreciate most about this recipe, besides its extraordinary flavor, is how simple it is to make small tweaks and still achieve a delicious outcome.

Some unexpected guests popped in, so I whipped up this dish using a mix of random fruits from the fridge - an apple, a pear, two plums, and a mystery fruit that resembled a hybrid of a plum and an apple, haha. Following the recipe almost exactly, it came together swiftly and turned out to be delicious. I will definitely be making it again. As for my tweaks, I grated the cold butter over the oat mixture using a box grater's larger holes to simplify the process, which worked like a charm. Additionally, I roughly pulsed 1/4 cup of oats in the food processor for larger clumps (a trick I use when making granola), and although the original recipe would have been fine without this step, it made the topping easier to cut and serve, resulting in a neater presentation. I'll be incorporating this step in my next batch, which might even be tomorrow because this dish was so delightful!

Excellent recipe that my family thoroughly enjoyed! We devoured it while it was still warm, adding a touch of half and half for extra richness. I swapped the apples for frozen blueberries and dusted them with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar, and a splash of lemon juice. For the topping, I omitted the cinnamon and cut the sugar in half. This resulted in a slightly firmer topping once refrigerated, so I plan to experiment with adding 1/4 cup of fruit juice next time to reduce the sugar content. Overall, a hit with our family!

I have made this recipe twice in one week! It is incredibly delicious and simple to make. I had some extra apples from the food bank and a local farmers market, so I decided to put them to good use. I doubled the recipe and used a fragrant spice mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, ginger, and orange peel. I like to keep the apple peels on for added flavor and nutrition. A sprinkle of lemon juice and melting the butter before adding it really enhances the taste. I baked it for one hour, and the result was absolutely delicious!

I absolutely loved it! I used a combination of Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples, which made it very flavorful. To prevent the apples from browning, I added a bit of lemon juice. I adore the combination of cinnamon and nutmeg, so I sprinkled a dash of nutmeg on both the topping and apples. I baked it in a 9x13 pan and it was ready in about 30 minutes. Thank you for sharing such a simple and delicious recipe!

We only made two substitutions, using Splenda brown sugar, and cooked it in our Instant Pot. It only took ten minutes to cook and turned out wonderfully.

This recipe is incredibly simple to follow. Although peeling and coring the apples may take some time, the end result is definitely worth it! I experimented with different types of apples to achieve the perfect blend of flavors.

The topping ended up too powdery even after using a pastry blender to mix it. I won't be making this recipe again.

A smashing success with my family! Apple Crisp is a beloved family classic, and I believe I've discovered our new generational recipe to pass down.

I made a mistake so I will try again.

I followed the recipe to the letter (I doubled it for a big group) and the result was fantastic - it was a hit with everyone. However, I would suggest removing "Easy" from the title. The process involved a lot of peeling, coring, and cutting up apples, as well as mixing everything together. I didn't have a pastry cutter, so I had to blend the cold butter into the mix by hand using two forks, which left my hands quite sore. Despite the effort, the end result was wonderful - just be prepared to invest some time into making this recipe.

I enjoyed the topping but I will leave out the sugar in the apples next time. It was too sweet for our liking.

The food was absolutely delicious!

The recipe was fantastic.
