A SIMPLE EASY APPLE CRISP RECIPE
One of my favorite recipes to make during the fall season is Apple Crisp. I love it with a passion, y’all! This one is a bit different from your usual apple crisp. There is no oatmeal in this one. Mainly because my husband isn’t a fan of the brown sugar/oatmeal topping so I had to figure something else out. And you know what? I ended up loving it better this way!
CAN I USE OTHER PIE FILLINGS?
This recipe works with pretty much all pie fillings. I have made it with cherry, peach and blueberry. They all tasted wonderful with this topping. I just leave out the cinnamon for the other pie fillings except for the peach pie filling. With the cherry pie filling, it’s nice to add a touch of almond extract to boost the flavor!

HOW DO I MAKE APPLES CRISP WITH FRESH APPLES?
Instead of the canned apple pie filling, you’ll need about 5 cups fresh apples (peeled and sliced), ½ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Combine these ingredients and place them into a baking dish. Then follow up with the topping recipe as written below.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- apple pie filling
- ground cinnamon
- all-purpose flour
- sugar
- salted butter
- chopped pecans
HOW TO MAKE APPLE CRISP:
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Pour both cans of apple pie filling into an 8×8 baking dish. sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of the apple filling.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar and cubed butter. Using a fork or pastry cutter, mix all ingredients until combined well. Making sure to “cut” the butter into the mixture.
Honestly, sometimes this is just easiest to use your hands. Get in there and smoosh the butter together with the flour/sugar mixture until it is crumbly. It should look like little butter pebbles when it’s ready. Stir in pecans. Spread the topping mixture over the apple pie filling. Put in the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes. It should be light golden brown and bubbly.
Spoon onto plates or into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or caramel or all three!
