Winning Apple Crisp Recipe

Reviewed on Apr. 21, 2013 by sgallirn

Only one word.....DELICIOUS!!! We took it as an extra dessert to a birthday party. People were bypassing the birthday cake to get seconds. The pan was almost clean when we left! We had either vanilla ice cream or Cool Whip to put on top. Either one was good. Also, we used Golden Delicious apples. SOOOO good.

I made this as recipe is and it taste's good but I didn't like that the bottom layer was a little soggy so next time I make this dish I may change the layers to apples on bottom & crust on top and see if I like that better. Good recipe though would make again. Thanks.

This is a delicious recipe. As suggested by others I decreased the brown sugar to a half cup. Wanting a little different twist I also added a package of Ocean Spray blueberry flavored craisins. It turned out to be a good flavor combination with the apples. Will be making this again.

This is such a great recipe! We did make a few adjustments. For the sauce to put on the apples, we halved everything except the vanilla. For the crust/crumb mixture, we only put in 2/3 cup of brown sugar. Next time we will try 1/2 cup as it was still plenty sweet! My husband made it and he loved how easy it was!

Great recipe! I reduced the granulated sugar by 1/3 cup, and it turned out great! Next time I will add more cinnamon to the boiled mixture.

While this recipe was good I found it to be a little too sweet. I will make it again but cut back a bit on the sugar. Maybe it's because I used Honeycrisp apples. My guests raved about it!

My Goodness what a wonderful treat for a cold winter day! I tried this last night for the very first time for my small group. Live in Florida and have a big cold snap. Everyone LOVED it!!

I used granny smith apples so the sugar amount was just right. No wonder it won a blue ribbon!!

I have made this 4 times now, once with apples, then with cherries, raspberry/blackberry and blueberry and all have been excellent.

This was super-yum! I made it gluten-free by using 1/2c sorghum flour & 1/2c white rice flour plus 1t xantham gum and Bob's Red Mill GF oats. I used 1/2 the sugar and made it in a 9x13 pan with 2x the apples (Granny Smith). I also added ginger, allspice and nutmeg to the syrup mixture. No one could tell it was gluten-free and it was WONDERFUL!!

This apple crisp is delicious. It has very pleasing proportions of apple to crisp. I did make some changes based on other reviews because we don't like things as sweet as this would be with the called-for sugar. I cut the brown sugar and the sugar back to a little more than 1/2 cup each. I also used about 1-1/2 tsp. of cinnamon. I used 4 medium Granny Smith apples, which amounted to a little over 4 cups. In deference to my husband's trying to watch his cholesterol, I used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (and I love butter in baked goods). I must say the product lived up to its name! I will definitely make this again!

I will make this again with slight modifications. I'm going to decrease the brown sugar to either only 1/2 or 3/4 cup, the full 1 cup was just a bit too sweet. I think I will also just about double the amount of apples, we found it heavy on the crisp and light on apple. Very good flavor!

I agree with Cyndyc04. These recipes are posted by those who love to bake and share recipes for others to enjoy.To submit a really good recipe and then have it basically shot down, is dishearting and uncalled for. I guess if one is a diabetic, or looking for recipes that are children-healthy, they could then look elsewhere and not post any comments.

I'm sorry, but I wish people would stop trying to rewrite recipes on here when they happen to see something that might be bothersome to themselves, and not to everyone else.

Granted, all recipes highlighted on here are not going to be suited for all people. In the case where it's not, all you have to do is adjust the recipe to your liking. Please do NOT preach to us that something is "totally unnecessary", etc., etc., etc. We are perfectly capable of making that decision for ourselves. If we like the recipe as it is written, then we will make it that way...if we don't, then we can change it. It is OUR prerogative to do so, just as it is yours to adjust any way you'd like. Thank you.
