Apple Crisp – Easy, Delicious and Perfect for Fall!

Apple Crisp is a recipe I absolutely adore.  Actually, I love all fruit crisp recipes, but there’s something about apple crisp that says, “Fall has arrived.”  This is one of the easiest recipes you’ll make that everyone will love!

Apple Crisp

Apple Crisp is one of those recipes that everyone just loves.  Add a little fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and you have one of the best desserts for Fall to serve to your family.  It’s even great when guests come.

When asked what is your favorite Fall dessert, most people will say apple pie.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a delicious slice of apple pie, but what I really love is apple crisp.  There’s something about this easy dessert warm from the oven that is so comforting to me.

Maybe because it’s one of the first fall desserts I really learned how to make after my husband and I were married.  We would come home from spending time apple picking and driving through the beautiful countryside and I would put this easy recipe together for us to enjoy.

Best Apples to use for Baking

My favorite apple to use for baking is Golden Delicious,  but Baldwin, Cortland, Northern Spy and Idareds all hold their shape well during cooking and taste delicious in different recipes.  A good tip is to mix a few different apples in recipes to come up with the flavor you and your family like best.

For more info on the best apples to use for baking and eating, check out my article I wrote on Apples a few years ago.
