is it better to freeze apple crisp before or after baking

This is the best tasting freezable apple crisp you’ll ever eat! So easy to make, this simple dessert captures all the amazing flavors of fall in one delicious dish. Plus, we use double the crisp topping (which is the best part of apple crisp anyways, am I right?)

It’s time you knew the truth. I actually created this recipe because I wanted extra crisp on my apple crisp.

I had found myself several times scooping my own portion of apple crisp out, then taking some extra crisp out of the pan, possibly leaving someone with only apples when no one was looking.

I mean, apple crisp topping is life. It’s gotta be sweet, buttery and baked until perfectly golden brown. And there needs to be a LOT of it.

If I get a bite of apples without the crisp… party’s over, ya know what I’m sayin’?

I mean, don’t get me wrong, the apples are great too. I’ve gotta have the tartness of the fruit to balance out the sweetness of the crisp for sure (along with the creaminess of melting vanilla ice-cream over the hot apple crisp….drooool).

You can choose to freeze the apple crisp from the prepared & unbaked stage or you can bake it and then freeze it. I prefer to freeze it unbaked so that the topping doesn’t get over browned. Once you’ve assembled the crisp, wrap it in two layers of aluminum foil and mark it with the date you assembled it.

APPLES PEELED OR NOT PEELED?

It’s totally up to you! I’ve made this recipe with and without peeling the apples, and both ways are delicious. My kids prefer it without skins so I usually peel them most of the time.

HOW TO MAKE APPLE CRISP – STEP BY STEP

  • First mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a bowl.
  • Then pour in the melted butter and stir until it comes together and starts crumbling into smaller pieces.
  • Slice apples (I like using my trusty apple-peeler-corer-slicer machine) but a knife will work too. You can keep the peels on if you don’t mind them, but my kids prefer no peels so that’s what method I use most of the time.
