Old Fashioned Apple Crisp Recipe - Modern Glam (1)

When I was in college, my mom gave all of girls (there are 3 of us) a bound cookbook filled with our family’s favorite recipes. We all use this religiously as we now make these meals and desserts for our own families.

By far, my favorite of all of the recipes is this Old Fashioned Apple Crisp Recipe. It is simple, easy and the prep comes together in a matter of minutes. The ingredients are always on hand (as long as you stock fresh apples) and is perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner, lol!

Step 1

Core, peel and cut apples in thin slices. Make the pieces pretty uniform in size to make sure they all cook at the same time.

Step 2

Place the cut apple pieces into the bottom of a baking dish. You can use a pie dish or a 8×8 baking dish.

Which Apples Are Best For Apple Crisp

I often get asked which apples to use to make this Old Fashioned Apple Crisp recipe. You can use a variety of apples for this recipe. I like to use Granny Smith and Fuji varieties. By using a variety, it makes the texture interesting and the flavors more complex.

Step 3

Mix topping ingredients together and cut the butter in using 2 knives to mix in (or a pastry blender). Don’t over mix, but make sure the pieces are about the size of peas.

Pour the topping over the apples and bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Baking: Start baking the apple crisp covered with foil. This allows the apples to soften without any risk of the topping over-browning.

Not enough butter, and your topping will be a dry, floury mess. Too much butter and your topping will become a greasy blob or disappointingly soggy.
