Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the sliced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and mix until all of the apples are evenly coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium size bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well coated and crumbly. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes until fruit is soft and the topping is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!

Gillian Fisher on 2026-10-30 (5 stars): The best apple crisp I've ever had! My grown adult children were like Mom that was the best. They went back for seconds. I did find one of them in the kitchen just staring at it debating should I get more LOL
Josie on 2026-10-28 (4 stars): Use less sugar. A bit too sweet. Honey crisp apples are sweet enough so use less in filling and bit less in topping😊
Lisa on 2026-10-21 (5 stars): Delicious and easy! Quite the crowd pleaser!!!
Jenna on 2026-10-19 (5 stars): This recipe is great, I did take the skin off my apples and cut them into more bite-size pieces, but everything else was perfect.
Emma on 2026-10-13 (5 stars): Today I made your recipe and found it to be super delicious. However, a bit too sweet for me so next time I will cut back on both sugars. It's a keeper! Appreciate your sharing.
Sharon Beverly on 2026-10-12 (5 stars): I mistakenly bought Gala apples instead of Honey Crisp but decided to use then anyway. I added the juice of a small lemon to offset the sweetness of the apples and reduced he amount of sugar both in the apple layer and the topping. Don't skip the vanilla - it is a game changer! Comfort food at its best!
Sandie on 2026-10-10 (4 stars): Quick and easy recipe. Served this for 🇨🇦 Thanksgiving. My adult children loved it. I did find it on the sweet side. Next time I will decrease the sugar. It was lovely served warm with vanilla ice cream
Penny Scism on 2026-10-10 (5 stars): This is so easy and just delicious! I doubled the crumble recipe because I ended up with more apples. Yummy! 🍎
Lucy on 2026-09-29 (5 stars): So so so good! Made this on a whim with some apples I had laying around (honeycrisp), and everyone loved it. I browned the butter instead for a bit more of that nutty taste and it was to die for!! Wasn't able to try it with vanilla ice cream, and instead used a whipped cream with rum and vanilla extracts. Fantastic recipe!!
Shirley D on 2026-09-29 (5 stars): I made this today and it turned out absolutely fabulous! I went by directions and baked it in a glass pie plate. Made a little extra crumb topping. Delicious. I might go with 1/4 or 1/3 of the sugar in with the apples next time to see how it tastes in comparison. It depends how sweet you like it. I like sweet, so it was wonderful for me. The melted butter worked out well in the topping. I was skeptical at first but the crumble was perfect.
🍎🍂
The ultimate autumn dessert! 😋
Barbara on 2026-09-27 (5 stars): Delicious. I used honey Crisp apples and followed the recipe . Everyone loved it. Said it’s a keeper
Jackie on 2026-09-23 (5 stars): Absolutely the best apple crisp recipe I have ever made!
Dawn R on 2026-09-20 (5 stars): Great flavors and pretty easy. Doubled the recipe for a 9x13 pan. Used Cortland apples from a local orchard and added extra cinnamon to the apples because I love it. Added a cup of chopped pecans to the topping since I used quick oats and thought it might need more texture. Highly recommend if you like nuts. Walnuts would be good too. Served it with salted caramel sauce and French vanilla ice cream. We were all licking our bowls afterward. 🙂
Janet on 2026-09-15 (5 stars): I used frozen apples from my apple tree and tweaked the recipe a bit I added a tablespoon of starch to the flower to thicken which absorbs the water from the frozen apples I added a handfull of raisins and midway of cooking I swirled maple sirop on top and continued cooking
I also make the same recipe with my rhubarb minus the raisins
So delicious
littletpot on 2026-09-14 (5 stars): This was delicious and so easy! I cut the sugar as suggested and it was perfect!
