With its hearty ingredients and quick prep time, this warm apple crisp makes a smart dessert for any fall night. It reminds me of the recipe my grandmother would serve after our big family seafood dinners. It's absolutely wonderful topped with ice cream. —Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

SO good!! The cornbread mix , along with oats, cinnamon and butter was delicious. Made the recipe exactly as written. Easy to make, and we loved the crispy topping and sweet apples underneath. Top it with vanilla ice cream! Will definitely make again!Volunteer Field Editor

This was delicious, and the topping was perfect with the corn bread mix. I will definitely make this again!

I second the review that I'll never make another apple crisp recipe again. The corn meal gives this recipe the perfect amount of texture/crunchiness that is lacking in other recipes. My experience with most apple crisp recipes is that the topping gets soft/soggy very quickly (if not eaten right away). This recipe is outstanding and so simple to make!

Oh my deliciousness!!! I doubled the recipe for a family gathering but followed the directions. I used my kitchenaid to cut the butter in since I don't have a pastry cutter. Sooo yummy, it's my new apple crisp recipe.
