This Traditional Apple Crisp recipe will make for a great family dessert this fall.  Apples topped with an oat streusel topping then baked, comfort food at its best. Since this dish requires just a few ingredients, it comes together quickly.

Traditional Apple Crisp

Fall apple dishes are always a hit with my family. This fall, my family will be enjoying lots of great apple desserts. I know our Caramel Apple Cookies will be frequent along with this traditional apple crisp dessert. Having great comforting desserts baking in the afternoon always makes me anxious for fall weather.

When I was in grade school and even high school, my favorite school bought dessert was their homemade apple crisp. It was a super simple apple dessert but really tasted great. I would quite often request homemade apple crisp because it was such a tasty after dinner treat too.

Since my family really looks forward to dessert after our family meals, I like to have our desserts made during the day when the kiddos are at school. I can usually whip something quite quickly while the baby naps. When the big kids arrive home from school, the house always has a yummy scent that gets them excited for after dinner dessert.

This apple crisp is one of those super simple recipes that can be made and tossed in the oven in just a few minutes time. The wonderful apple and cinnamon scent has the house smelling like fall in no time. The crunchy streusel makes for a perfect topping. PERFECT!

    I made this last week again. I made during thanksgiving but something wasn’t right. This time I doubled the crust and used 3 different types of apples. It was delicious, I couldn’t keep my husband away from the pan this time.

    I used gala apples instead of the green ones. I like apples that are less tart. The hardest part was cutting in the cold butter haha Will probably do it a little differently next time and definitely will not use a fork. Tastes amazing and very few ingredients which is even better. Glad I found this one!

    My daughter made this and added pecans. I’m making it now and adding walnuts instead. I’m trying a little less butter. Seemed a bit too much last time. Delicious!
