how to make old fashioned apple crisp

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced apples, white sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  • Put apple mixture in the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, combine oatmeal, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Next, add butter and mix by hand (sort of a squishing technique) until mixture is combined. (It will come together in clumps.)
  • Evenly distribute oatmeal mixture over apples in an 8×8 baking dish.
  • Bake at 350° for 45-60 minutes or until apples are fork tender.
  • Serve with ice cream if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Tips for making Old Fashioned Apple Crisp

  • I like to use Granny Smith apples in this recipe, but a combination of Granny Smith and another variety of apples will also taste good.
  • To cut down on the preparation, use an apple peeler and corer to prepare the apples. 
  • Instead of using your hands to mix up the topping, you can use a pastry cutter.
  • If using ramekins as the baking dish for this recipe, divide the apple mixture among 6 (6 ounce) ramekins, scatter the topping evenly over the apples in each dish, place the ramekins on a cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and apples are tender.
  • Serve with a scoop of ice cream or homemade whipped topping.
