It just wouldn’t be fall without some Apple Crisp. Apple crisp is a sentimental favorite for me because it’s something that my mom always made while apples were in season.

There’s nothing crazy or ground-breaking about this recipe. It’s just total comfort food – warm, baked apples topped with sweet, crisp topping.

Even though it’s simple, it’s also good enough my kids snuck back after dinner and ate all of the leftovers. So, grab some of the fresh, fall apples, and enjoy!

Apples and spices for apple crispIngredients for apple crisp toppingWhat type of apples are baking apples (what type of apples should I use for apple crisp)?

Some common types of baking apples include Pink Lady, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Jonagold, and Gala.

Can I use more than one type of apple?

Absolutely! I like to use at least two different types of baking apples when I make apple crisp and apple pies.

Using more than one type of apple gives the crisp or pie more complex flavor than just using one type of apple.

How to store apple crisp

I store mine, covered, at room temperature. Check out the explanation below to see how to keep it from getting soggy.

How to keep apple crisp from getting soggy

I only cover the cut section. I press the plastic wrap against the cut section of apples without covering the topping.

I’ve found that covering the topping traps too much moisture and leads to a sad, soggy topping the next day.

How long will apple crisp keep?

It will be ok for about 3-4 days at room temperature. However, I think it’s best the first 1-2 days after it’s made.
