What is an Apple Crisp?

Apple crisp is a dessert made with fresh chopped apples and baked with either a streusel or a crumble topping. It’s sometimes called an apple crumble as well.

Regardless, it is an amazingly simple dessert!  No frills and no complicated ingredients.  It’s very straightforward and quick enough to whip up and bake.

We’ve even made apple crisp in a pie with our Easy Apple Crisp Pie recipe and it is very popular.  So, be sure to check it out.

This maple walnut apple crisp is a dessert that hollers “fall” all over it.  With cinnamon and maple undertones, the sweet flavors make a delightful treat and one you can whip up quickly and easily.

Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, this dessert is sublime.

QUICK NOTES…

• The walnut-oats crumble on top will stay “crunchy” only the day you bake it fresh.  After 24 hours, the crumble texture will soften.

• Store on the counter, covered with clear wrap.  It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. (if it lasts that long!)
