Mason Jar Apple Crisp

Mason Jar Apple Crisps are as cute as they are delicious! These individual serving size desserts are filled with apple pie filling then topped with a crumb topping right before baking. Let's grab a few mason jars and bake another one of my apple dessert recipes up in the oven for a portable, single serving apple crisp recipe that everyone will love.

this Recipe

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 the homemade 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 Recipe 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.

• One 21-ounce can apple pie filling
• Flour
• Rolled Oatmeal
• Brown Sugar
• Salt
• Butter, cut into small cubes

Baking Tip: Be very careful when serving the mason jars directly from the oven as they will be very hot! 

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1 | Combine the Ingredients

• Mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Then using two forks or a pastry blender incorporate the butter into the flour mixture until it becomes small crumbs.
• Set aside while you prepare the mason jars.

Step 2 | How to Prepare the Mason Jars

• Prepare mason jars with a light butter coating to make them nonstick, and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spoon a few tablespoons of apple pie filling evenly into each buttered mason jar. Top each filled mason jar with the crumb topping. 

Step 3 | Baking Instructions

• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes or until the crumb topping has browned.
• Remove the mason jars from the oven and let cool 10 minutes.

Serving Tips

• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream and maybe a extra sprinkle of brown sugar! 

Recipe Variations

• Try switching out the canned apple pie filling for another favorite such as blueberry, cherry or even peach.
• Change up the crumb topping mixture and use crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal.
