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. 

Apple crisp is one of my favorite recipes; especially when the weather starts getting more crisp. There’s nothing like the smell of apples baking in the kitchen brings me back to a simpler time.

This recipe for Mason Jar Apple Crisp is the best one to make if you need a dessert idea that will feed a crowd.

Remove the mason jars from the oven and let cool 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream and maybe a extra sprinkle of brown sugar!

Frequently Asked Recipe Questions

Will a Mason jar explode in the oven?

No. You do need to be careful about putting a cold mason jar into a hot oven. The same is true if you remove the hot mason jar from the oven and place it immediately on a cold counter top.

Can I use another flavor pie filling?

Yes! Feel free to try blueberry, cherry, peach pie filling as an alternative to apple.

    Looks good but the recipe doesn’t specify how much brown sugar to use and what kind and how much oats. I could probably figure it out but would love to know what you used.
