One of the very first desserts I ever made as a young married wife was apple crisp. A co-worker gave me the recipe that she swore was the best ever for apple crisp and she was right! She even had it titled "The Best Ever Apple Crisp Recipe" on the copy she gave me at lunch one day.
This Mason Jar Apple Crisp recipe is another version for my very popular Apple Dump Cake Recipe. It's also an easy dessert recipe to serve when you're feeding a crowd.

💭Apple crisp with apple pie filling
Apple crisp is one of my favorite recipes; especially when the weather starts getting cooler. There's nothing like the smell of apples baking in the kitchen brings me back to a simpler time.
However, this recipe doesn't use fresh apples. Remember, we want dessert made fast! So we're using canned apple pie filling.
💭Single serving apple crisp
This single-serving dessert is perfect for anyone who doesn't want to make a whole batch of apple crisp (or for anyone who doesn't want to share!). Simply layer some sliced apples with a mixture of oats, flour, sugar, and spices.
Top with a dot of butter, and you're ready to bake. In just 20 minutes, you'll have a warm, delicious apple crisp, all to yourself. So go ahead and indulge - after all, you deserve it!
