Instructions

Prepare. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8” square baking dish or pan with 2 teaspoons of butter. Peel, core, and quarter the apples and add them to a bowl of water with a squeeze of lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.

Serve while still warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Apple Varieties to Use

Apple Varieties. I like to use a variety of apples I can find at the local grocer that are the best in quality. You can make this with any kind of apples, all of one type, or mix and match.

Sweet Apples: Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, Opal, Red Delicious

Tart Apples: Cortland, Granny Smith, McIntosh, Pink Lady

Sweet & Tart Apples: Cosmic, Jazz, Jonagold

My Top Tips

♡ Always peel the apples first and place them in a lemon water bath to keep them from turning dark as you cut them.

♡ Make the crisp streusel/crumble topping before slicing the apples to ensure the quickest assembly of the crisp, which helps prevent the apples from turning dark.

Make-Ahead, Storage, & Reheating

Make-Ahead & Storage: You can make this apple crisp earlier in the day. Leftovers can be covered with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating: For the best flavor warm the apple crisp gently in the microwave or the oven before serving.
