BEST APPLE CRISP VIDEO
Iโm going to keep it honest hereโno other apple crisp recipe can even TOUCH this one.
Itโs sweet, yet balanced with the perfect amount of salt and tanginess from the lemon (which you canโt taste on their own really because they simply act to really draw out all the flavors of the apple crisp). Itโs rich and caramel-y (I mean, look at it. You can see that.) The crispy crumble is beautifully crisp and totally delicious, and it contrasts the soft, luscious apples just perfectly.
With a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, youโre set with the best dessert. I mean it when I call this the BEST apple crisp recipe ever. Itโs my favorite dessert this season and I cannot stop making it over and over again.
And whatโs better than a dessert that is so freaking tasty than one that is so freaking tasty AND EASY AS CAN BE?!

REAL FOOD TALK โ HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS FOR THIS APPLE CRISP RECIPE
Most flour you buy is โenrichedโ or โfortifiedโ with vitamins that are nothing more than potentially very harmful ingredients that are added into your flour. Itโs not natural and itโs not safe. Itโs just a marketing tool to trick you into buying something you think is healthy.
Meanwhile, these ingredients wreak havoc on your system and even worse, are fed to children whose systems arenโt meant to handle these unnatural additives in unnatural levels.ย Children who are fed foods with added vitamins are at an increased risk for toxicity
And unfortunately, the FDA doesnโt regulate supplements as drugs even though they affect your body and health. And not in a good way.
Contrary to dogma and popular belief, you can absolutely overdose from too much of these added vitamins and minerals. They can cause liver and nervous system damage Thereโs also no benefit when it comes to prevention of cancer or cardiovascular disease And they have even been shown to actually increase the rate of cancer and mortality
If youโre already eating a variety of meats, fruits, and vegetables then you donโt need supplements/added vitamins in your diet. And if youโre not already eating this variety of food, then start eating variety to get vitamins in the natural and healthy way. I totally believe shortcuts when it comes to health have led to all our health issues.
So just eat real food.
When buying any packaged food or flours, make sure that there are no added vitamins in the ingredients list. Usually organic flour will not contain added vitamins and it has the added benefit of not having any pesticides and herbicides.
That brings me to the apples. Make sure theyโre organic to avoid glyphosate thatโs in herbicides. Herbicides and pesticides work by damaging living organisms and rinsing fruit thatโs sprayed with them will not protect you because these chemicals are in the soil and make their way into the plants.
Organic means normal and natural. Spraying plants with harmful chemicals is the unnatural fad.

As for butter, I recommend grass-fed because the cows that make this butter are eating whatโs natural to them as they graze free on pastures. And donโt be wary of eating butter. Butter is a health food.

To peel, or not to peel
Itโs 100% up to you! ย Iโve made this recipe both ways, and I like them both equally. ย Generally, when I make this easy apple crisp, Iโm making it for my family, and my kids wouldnโt eat it with the skins on, so I peel them more often than not. ย Iโm sure this goes without saying, but if you choose to leave the skins on, be sure to wash the apples thoroughlyย
