I am a huge fan of apple desserts and I particularly love this homemade apple crisp recipe.

Whether it is apple pie, apple tarts, apple roses, or apple fritters, etc. I can’t get enough of apple desserts and recipes made with apples. This apple crisp dessert is no exception. It is so full of flavor and a perfect treat to make and serve during the Fall and Holidays, or any time of the year you are craving apples.

This apple crisp recipe is so easy to make, if I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get baking!

Take cold butter and cut it up into small chunks and add it to the topping mixture. Then use a fork or pastry blender/cutter to work in the butter. Keep cutting it and blending it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs or damp sand.

Butter an 8x8 inch or 7x11 inch pan. You can use shortening or kitchen spray as well. Pour in the apple mixture and then layer the crisp topping evenly on top. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown. Check after 30 minutes, if the top is getting too brown add some foil.

Once it comes out of the oven let it cool for a few minutes, then plate it while it is still warm. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle some caramel sauce on top. Enjoy! : )
