This recipe was not to my liking. I found it to be overly sweet and I did not care for the crisp part, it was not crispy enough.

I made this with some apples a friend gave me and it did not disappoint. It had lots of cinnamon flavor and crumbly crust which are my favorite parts! The extra liquid you prepare to add to the apples did make it a little on the sweet side, but I loved the addition of vanilla.

It was okay. A lot of oatmeal flavor and not enough cinnamon. I like my recipe for Apple Betty much better.

It was easy and delicious, but too sweet for me! How could I make it less sweet? I think it was the syrup.

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.
