CLASSIC APPLE CRISP is the perfect Fall dessert! Warm sweet apples are topped with a sweet, buttery crispy topping. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you’ve got the perfect dessert!
One of the things I missed about living in the north was Fall. When I lived in Massachusetts I went apple picking for the first time and it was the BEST! You get all bundled in sweaters and cozy clothes, walk through the field and find the best apples, then hang out at the farm house and drink warm apple cider, eat fresh apple fritters. Then head home to make a delicious apple dessert or six with your bounty. When we moved from Arizona to Oregon, apple picking was one of the things I was most excited about!
This Classic Apple Crisp is a favorite of ours to make. It’s so simple to make and always a hit! I can never pass up a warm, sweet apple dessert. Something about them just warms you up from the inside! It’s also the ultimate comfort food. I always just think of cozy days and fall leaves when I think of apple desserts and a classic apple crisp is top of the list!

I made this today exactly as written and it was awesome. I used half gala apples and half granny smith. Usually, when I try a recipe I have to make it multiple times and tweak it to get something I really like. Not this time. It was perfect right out of the gate.
I really appreciate the recipe…so glad I found it. Highly recommend.

Awesome!! I’m so glad to hear this worked out so nicely for you. I also love that this recipe will transition right into fall so even getting it right on the first try will make it so much easier and be such a good comfort food recipe.
