The smell in the air while this Apple Crisp recipe bakes in the oven is intoxicating.
I wish I could turn the scent into a candle… though a serving of apple crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top beats a candle any day.
Nothing embodies Fall quite like homemade apple crisp.
You really can’t beat gooey, warm, delicious apples loaded with spices and a crispy oat crumb topping.
This old-fashioned Apple Crisp recipe is such a comforting treat in the Autumn season or the summertime!
Plus, this recipe is way easier to make than Apple Pie, since you don’t have to bother with preparing a pie crust.
If you’re feeling ambitious, pair this warm crisp with a scoop of my Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream recipe.

- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch metal or glass pan with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Whisk together until combined. With a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the apple filling.
- Core, peel, and slice the apples into ¼ -inch to ½ -inch slices until you reach 6 cups of sliced apples, weighing 650 grams. Place in a medium-sized bowl and immediately drizzle with the lemon juice, tossing until evenly coated.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the flour, sugars, salt and spices (adjust to your preference). Pour dry mixture over the apples and toss to coat, mixing until evenly distributed amongst the apples.
- Pour the apple mixture directly into the greased pan. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples feel tender when pierced with a fork, and the topping is golden brown. Let the apple crisp cool for 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on top.

EASY Freezer Apple Crisp (With Double-the-Crisp Topping!)
How long can you keep apple crisp after baking?
If you have leftover apple crisp after baking, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To preserve the crisp texture of the topping, keep the apple crisp covered with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container.
How long can you store raspberries in the fridge?
Raspberries have a short shelf-life and typically last in the fridge for up to 5 days but can start to go bad in a couple of days. The first step is to choose raspberries at the store that don’t have any leaky, discoloured, or mushy fruit. Store raspberries unwashed in the fridge in their original container. Freezing berries, or purchasing already frozen berries, is the best way to keep raspberries for a long time. When frozen properly, berries will retain their flavour for up to 1 year.
Can apple crisp be refrigerated?
You can leave the apple crisp at room temperature for two days, or you can refrigerate it for up to five days. For longer-term storage, you can freeze the apple crisp. Make sure the apple crisp is at room temperature all the way through before adding any sort of covering. If you cover the crisp prematurely, it won’t stay crispy for long.
How long does apple crisp last?
This extends its shelf life and keeps it fresher for longer. Apple crisp will last 5 days in the refrigerator. If you live somewhere warm and humid, I highly recommend refrigerating the apple crisp. Warm weather and high moisture levels will cause the apple crisp to mold faster than it usually would.
