Unforgettable Apple Crisp

Desert made easy!

Apple Crisp is a legendary home cooked dessert. The good news is, you don’t have to be able to craft a beautiful, flakey pie crust, or bake it exactly like grandma did. This apple desert (or breakfast on a special occasion) is super simple, fast and easy to make.

It is also an adaptable recipe to alter to suit your tastebuds. Select your apple depending on your palette – do you prefer sweet, dry? Bake your favorite variety into the dish.

Modify to suit your dietary needs

You can also reduce the amount of sugar you use to make this treat a little more healthy. When eating for breakfast, try serving with organic greek yogurt and fresh berries.

If you’re looking to indulge with a night of sweets, go for the ultimate pairing – apple pie and vanilla ice cream. 

Fun tip: Try a spiral apple corer – it speeds things up and the kids love to help out!
