Everyone in my family REALLY enjoyed this apple crisp. We have a wide variety of tastes in our family so that is saying something rare! Very easy and very, very good. I am sure we will make it alot;and it will be good to take to pot lucks and other groups as well.

We are so glad to have this recipe.

Excellent flavor! Very unique in that you put some of the crumble mixture on the bottom as well as top. I thought the apple mixture juice would water down the insides, but it turned was just the right moistness. I also added 1 c. coconut and 1 c. pecans. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!

Made this last night for my family....it got a thumbs up! I did add chopped pecans to the top of the crisp and it came out great.

This recipe was a hit with my family. I used half Splenda and half white sugar to cut down the sugar a little bit and it came out great!

I love this recipe for apple crisp. I also tried it with substituting 2 quarts of frozen cherries instead of apples and cooked them with 1/2 t. cinnamon & 1/4 t. nutmeg and 2 T. tapioca. Delicious!

I didn't have any shortening so I used all butter, and it was very good!!
