This easy dessert is a slight variation on my easy blackberry crisp. I doubled the brown sugar and oat topping because let’s face it, the crispy topping is irresistible! If you are looking for something super quick, these Air Fryer Churro Apple Pie Bombs are the best dessert to make in under 30 minutes.

Fruit crisp is one of my favorite desserts because it’s so easy to make. No pie crust to roll out and you can make it with any fruit you have on hand to make a peach crisp or cherries are great too. It’s always a family favorite with the crispy crumb topping.

  • Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.

How to Store:

Store apple crisp covered with plastic wrap at room temperature 1 – 2 days. It can be refrigerated up to 4 days. Reheat in microwave or serve at room temperature.

This easy crisp is simple enough to make for a weeknight but totally delicious enough for entertaining.

What kind of apples are best for apple crisp?

I used Granny Smith apples for this recipe. I’ve also made it with Gala or Fuji apples, use your favorite.

This might sound crazy, but if you have zucchini and no apples you can totally make a mock apple crisp with zucchini. Our Zucchini Crisp is every bit as delicious as the apple version!
