Old Fashioned Apple Crisp

Sharing is caring!

This easy Old Fashioned apple crisp recipe is made like my momma used to make it. It is perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce!

A proper classic Fall dessert, this easy apple crisp recipe reminds me of those fall crisp days when my momma would pop this in the oven and make the whole house smell amazing.

One of my favorite parts about this recipe is the crispy oat topping. Some people don't like it but I think it really adds the perfect touch to this dessert.

How to Make Apple Crisp

This recipe is so simple, the hardest part is making the topping. Simply peel the apples and then slice and dice them up.

Coat in sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Place them in the baking dish. Mix the topping together and throw it on top.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 50 minutes. When it comes out, drizzle on salted caramel sauce and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This is my favorite fall dessert. I can eat up a whole pan of this!
