    The Best Apple Crisp Recipe Without Oats

    It's apple picking season, and this apple crisp without oats is the most delicious recipe you can make with your freshly picked apples.

    Seriously, it has all of the fall vibes. From the warm, tender apple filling, to the buttery brown sugar cinnamon crumble topping, this crisp has it all!

    Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you'll have yourself the ultimate comfort food treat.

    Now, along with how absolutely delicious this apple crisp without oats is, it's also incredibly easy to make. Seriously, all you have to do is a little mixing, and then the oven will take care of the rest.

    Ingredients

    This easy apple crisp recipe is actually made with super simple ingredients that you probably have at home already.

    If not, a quick trip to the grocery store is all you need, and you'll be good to go.

    Here's what you'll need for the warm apple crisp filling:

    • 4 Apples, sliced (I prefer Granny smith apples)
    • 2 tbsp. Brown Sugar

    And for the delicious topping:

    • 1 cup Flour
    • ¾ cup Brown Sugar
    • 2 tbsp. Cornstarch
    • 1 tbsp. Cinnamon Powder
    • ½ tsp. Salt
    • 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
    • 1 tbsp. Vanilla Extract
    • 1 Stick of Unsalted Butter, cold and diced

    Pretty common stuff, eh?

    Now, since this recipe uses 4 apples my wife and I usually end up making it after we go apple picking in the fall. There's just nothing better than using some farm-fresh apples to make this crisp. But, you can use any store-bought apples that you want! I like using green apples for a slightly tart taste, but feel free to use any kind.

    Oh, and if you've got some leftover apples that you don't know what to do with, give this apple butter recipe or these apple empanadas a shot next!

    How To Make Apple Crisp Without Oats

    As I said before, this recipe is wonderfully simple to make.

    It takes just one hour to make a family-sized apple crisp, and the majority of that time is baking.

    So, let's not waste any more time and dive into the recipe!

    Sliced apples on a cutting board surrounded by cubed butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and flour.

    Step 1: Prep work

    First things first, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and slice the apples into any sized slices that you want.

    Next, grease a pie dish - or casserole dish - with baking spray or butter and put the apple slices in it. Then, add the brown sugar and toss the apples in the brown sugar to coat them in it.

    Once they're coated, put the apples in an even layer in the dish.

    Step 2: Make the Crisp Topping

    Now onto the crisp topping. Start by adding the flour, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl and give them a mix.

    Then, add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cubed butter to the bowl and use your hands - or a spatula - to mix until the ingredients form into a sandy, crumbly topping.

    Step 3: Bake The apple crisp

    Now top the apples with the apple crisp topping. And you'll want to make sure you put it evenly over the apple slices when you do.

    Then, bake the apple crisp for about 40 minutes or until it's golden brown.

    Finally, serve warm by itself or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and enjoy!

    What To Serve Alongside Apple Crisp

    As good as your apple crisp will taste on its own, you can also pair it with a little something extra for an elevated flavor.

    Here are some ideas:

    • Vanilla ice cream
    • Caramel sauce
    • Fresh whipped cream
    • Powdered sugar
    • Candied pecans
    • A drizzle of maple syrup

    How To Store Apple Crisp

    This apple crisp recipe makes enough for about 6 servings.

    So, if you're serving it to a group of people, there's a slim chance that you'll have any leftovers.

    But, if you do, you can either cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the leftovers to an airtight container. Then, you can store it at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    Alternatively, you can freeze your apple crisp and store it for up to 3 months. Just make sure that it has cooled completely before freezing in an airtight container.

    How to reheat apple crisp

    To reheat your apple crisp without oats, the quickest way is to pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

    Alternatively, you can put it back in a baking dish in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until hot.

      I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup for the topping and did not use any with the apples. It was plenty sweet. Also used 8 apples instead of four. Cooked it for 50 min. Then left it in the oven with the door cracked. The house was filled with the wonderful aroma and the crisp was delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
