I love sharing recipes. Sometimes they’re healthy, and sometimes they’re not. I’ve been working hard on my healthy lifestyle, but sometimes you have to treat yourself to something delicious. It’s all about moderation, right?
My family came over for dinner last night and I made roasted garlic parmesan potatoes, baked salmon, and seasoned broccoli. I also made this heavenly apple crisp for dessert. I love how easy, fast, and simple apple crisp is to make, but it tastes so rich, heavy, and complicated. There are so many ways you can make it and I decided to play it safe and use a recipe that had five stars and has been made over 5000 times. The amazing thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to use apples; you can use almost any fruit such as; blueberries, peaches, cranberries, blackberries, and more. This is a recipe I’ll be saving and making over and over again. It’s the ultimate comfort dessert.
If you’re looking for an apple crisp recipe that is loaded in flavor, heavenly sweet and has a texture equal to perfection, this one is it. The top layer is almost like a cookie granola bar and the apple filling tastes just like a warm pie. I think the top layer would be fun to add to the top of a muffin a streusel. I’m also thinking about making a cheesecake filling to add to a blueberry version.
One of the great things about apple crisp is that you can make it all year round. You can make it for almost all holidays too. Sure, apples are typically popular in the fall, but we’ve always eaten apple crisp year round.
Another great thing about apple crisp is that you can make it ahead of time. I prepared this before dinner and it was perfect by the time dessert rolled around.
This dessert made the entire place smell like fall. It smelled like one of the Bath & Body works apple crumble candles.
The apples were glazed with a cinnamon jelly and the oats were buttery and flaky.
You could also bring this into work for a breakfast dish.
Dessert is best served with coffee 🙂 (Decaf or on the weekends though)
If you’re going to serve apple crisp, make sure to have whipped cream or a vanilla ice cream! Both are wins.
My family went nuts over the apple crisp. They said it was one of the best they’ve ever had.
Store the leftovers in the fridge and reheat to serve!
What is your favorite fall dessert to make?
Hi Taralynn! That apple crisp looks amazing I can’t to try making it 🙂
Sorry that this isn’t relevant to this post, but I was wondering if you could tell me which website you use to get pictures printed on canvas? Thanks!
Thanks Abbey!:)
Those pictures are from EASY CANVAS:)
This looks so delicious! You have inspired me to go out to get blueberries and try this out for tonight 🙂
Also, LOVE the design on your plate & mug!
Let me know what you think of the blueberry version!! Also, you should add a little glaze drizzle!:)
Fun fact: found those plates and mugs at a thrift shop for 75 cents a piece. I have the whole set of eight!
That looks SO delicious! Definitely going to make some and take to my family’s when I travel this weekend! Did you paint a standard glass dish on the outside, or did you buy it like that? If so, what kind of paint did you use to make it stick? Looks super nice! 🙂
It’s a great travel dish since it won’t go bad in in a long car ride!:) I actually got those plates at thrift shop for 75 cents !
Also, what apples did you use? I know different apples turn out better when baking. 🙂
Thanks! <3
I used a combination of granny smith, honey crisp, and pink lady!
Thanks! I cant wait to try it. 🙂
That apple crisp is making me so hungry! I must make 🙂
It’s definitely a good one 🙂
I love your photos!
Thank you Sara!
YUM! I LOVE apple crisp! I have a recipe for a healthy apple crisp that is sweetened with honey. I literally could eat the whole dish of it!
I love love love honey apple crisp. 🙂
I also made your pumpkin bars yesterday. One of my favorite recipes of yours. I love that they’re healthy. But hate it too because I could literally eat the whole pan!!
I love making those 🙂 But theyre healthy so you’re good!
Oooooo! Would you be willing to share the recipe? My dad’s a bee keeper, so we have an endless supply of organic raw honey! 🙂
Oh YUM! Would you be willing to share the recipe? My dad’s a bee keeper, so needless to say we have lots of honey! 🙂
I’d love the recipe too! 🙂
Yum!! Apple crisp is one of my favorite desserts. I am making dessert for Thanksgiving this year and I’m thinking this could be one of the dishes I make. I wanted to make apple pie from scratch but I’m not sure I could pull that off lol. This looks a bit easier! Thank you for sharing the recipe 🙂
This is definitely an easier version of apple pie! 🙂 BUT if you want a good apple pie recipe…http://simplytaralynn.com/2013/12/01/the-best-apple-pie-i-ever-ate-this-one-is-for-you/ its amazing!
Ohh awesome, thanks!!
I love that recipe! I had to make extra dough though, I think I roll my crust thicker than you, and I love a tightly woven crust on the top 🙂
I like to use the extra dough to make mini pies! Also, you can use that dough to make quiche! (just don’t add the spice)
That sounds delicious! 🙂 I will have to try it. I wonder if it would be good for a pot pie recipe? I usually make my own pot pies since I am vegan and can never find any frozen 😛
This sounds so yummy! I love apple crisp in the fall so will have to try this recipe out.
Hope you love it!
Did the apples still have a bite to them, I really like when they are soft! Just curious because I’m totally going to make this and if I need to cook the apples a little longer I’ll go that extra step lol! Thanks for sharing!
They apples were very very soft!:) No crisp to them! The water basically boiled them while they were in the oven.
YUM! That looks so good. I always feel like apple crisp is so much work, then I make it and think how I need to make it more often.
These pictures have me craving it now 🙂

I’m the same way!! 🙂
I can’t wait to try out this recipe! I have been making a lot of banana bread lately. It’s not really a dessert but it’s the only baking I’ve getting into lately.
Your apple crisp looks like it turned out amazingly! Thanks again for sharing!

lOVE Banana bread 🙂 I’m excited to check out your blog! xo
The tangy flavor of rhubarb combines well with apples in a fruity crisp baked with a crumbly topping of brown sugar, butter, and quick oats.
The crunchy, chewy components of an oatmeal cookie combine with buttery apple slices in this tasty oatmeal cookie apple crisp recipe.
This looks delicious – can’t wait to try it!
How many apples does it usually take to fill 10 cups?
Thanks!
Anywhere from 7-11 apples depending on the size!! 😀
I recently started switching the butter for coconut oil when I make apple crisp to make it more nutritious. It also tastes great!
I do that with my rice krispie treats! I need to try it with apple crisp! Thanks for the idea 🙂
This was SUPER delicious! Everyone loved it! I used honey crisp & pink lady (couldn’t find any granny smith).
I had to add another 1/2-1 cup of water around the edges of my pan mid-baking because it was drying out and not cooking the apples very well.
I don’t know if its because my apples weren’t as juicy.
It turned out perfect though! Just wanted to give the heads up in case anyone has dryer apples like me 🙂
All ovens cook differently, could be the apples, or the pan size!:) But smart thinking with the water! I made this and the half a cup was TOO much water once becuase the apples were so juicy!
Thanks for the tips!!
I made this today and oh my god! SO delicious! I used about half the apples you did though because I only had that many. My attempts NEVER look as pretty as yours though!
Thank you for the delicious recipe 🙂
So glad you loved it! & you can TOTALLY cut this recipe in half! xo xo
I made this for one of our Thanksgiving desserts. It was a huge hit! Im snacking on some with coffee now. Thanks for the recipe!
I just had a little plate of it with coffee 🙂
