Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best apples to use for this 45-minute Apple Crisp recipe?

For the best texture and flavor, choose firm, slightly tart apples that hold their shape well during baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. Since this recipe calls for 6 cups of peeled, thinly sliced apples, using a mix of tart and sweet varieties will give you a perfectly balanced filling.

Can I make the topping for this Apple Crisp ahead of time?

Yes, you can definitely make the topping ahead of time! After combining the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and melted butter, cover the mixture and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. If chilling, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before sprinkling it over your apples before baking at 350°F (175°C).

How should I store leftover Apple Crisp and how long will it last?

Store leftover Apple Crisp in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To refresh the crisp topping, reheat individual portions in a toaster oven or a 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes until warm and crunchy.
