This old fashioned Apple Crisp Recipe was passed down to me from my mom. Apple Crisp is an easy way to achieve the taste of an apple pie without all of the work involved in making and rolling out a crust. It’s the perfect “go to” recipe for potlucks. Easy to make and a hit with everyone! Come on in and I’ll share my recipe with you…
Apple Crisp Recipe
After one of our annual fall apple picking outings, I found myself with over 20 pounds of apples. Give four kids each a bag to fill, they will most definitely fill it. When I asked what everyone wanted me to bake with the apples, my husband’s special request was Apple Crisp.
It’s such an easy, and delicious recipe. The hardest part of this apple crisp recipe is peeling all of the apples. Luckily, we have one of those apple peelers that you attach to the counter. The kind of apple peeler with a crank. It even cores the apples for you. I really recommend one for any apple recipe. It’s a life saver.

What is the difference between apple crisp and apple crumb?
- apple crisp has a crispy topping that usually includes oatmeal
- apple crumb usually has more of a streusel topping
Does Apple Crisp Need to be refrigerated?
- Apple crisp is similar to apple pie. It does not need to be refrigerated but will last longer if covered and refrigerated
How long will Apple Crisp Last?
- At room temperature, the apple crisp should last about 2 days. In the refrigerator, you can add 2 more days.

LOL! I guess I did go on and on about that apple peeler. 😊 Thanks to you…I put a link to one on Amazon within the post. I’m so glad that you enjoyed the recipe and that it will be a regular at your Thanksgiving dinners. That makes me very happy.
What kind of apples did you use? And did you use old fashion or quick oats?
Thank you so much for asking this. Those are important ingredients to specify in the recipe. The Best apples for baking – Granny Smith (this is the best type to bake with), Jonagold, Braeburn, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Wine Sap, and Cortland. Use old fashioned oats. I’ll update the recipe right away. 🙂
Can you use quick oats?
You can definitely substitute quick oats in the recipe. The only difference will be the texture of the oats. The rolled “old fashioned” oats will be a little more crisp and nuttier. The quick oats will be a little more soft and moist. 🙂 I hope this helps.
I made this last week , was so good, and easy . It’s on my list to make again today 😀
