I live in apple country, and a delicious crisp is one good way to use them that doesn't take a lot of time. —Gertrude Bartnick, Portage, Wisconsin

I am not a dessert fan, but made this for my husband who is. I cut the recipe in half which was very wise of me...he almost ate it all, hence the 5 stars!!!

Hello, can this recipe be done in a microwave as well, as I wish to try it out by this weekend. Thanks.

Too sweet. Prefer a more traditional Apple crisp with a simple crumb topping. Made it for a second time tonight and confirmed the sweetness and twice the baking time is a good reason to skip it. However, if you are feeding people with a serious sweet tooth, this is great for you.

Made it as written and used Granny Smith Apples. Just the right amount of topping and a good amount of apple filling. Will make it again.

Absolutely delicous! It was a hit with everyone. I made it as the the recipe stated and it was great. We liked the chewy, crispy topping but would have liked more of it. I will double that part when I make it again.

Delicious! I sprinkled extra cinnamon and sugar over the apples before adding the crumb topping.

Delicious;!! I used Granny Smith apples and doubled the recipe. Made for group of 16 and everyone loved it! Put topping in bottom as suggested, did not count/measure apples, just kept piling them up till they filled my Pyrex dish (9 x 13) and put remainder of topping, as best I could, on top before pouring liquid over. Put pan or foil under dish since it will probably bubble over in oven. Served with vanilla ice cream, but excellent without!

I tried this using less sugar and more apples. Different than any recipe I've used in the past.Turned out fabulous. This is the only way I will ever make it from now on. I'm sure other types of fruit would be good, also! Thanks so much. 10*'s here!
