I almost skipped the maceration step, but I’m so glad I didn’t. The filling was perfectly thick and flavorful, and pressing some topping into the apples made such a difference in texture!

This apple crisp was the best dessert I have had in a while! The oat streusel, I had to stop myself from just eating that part. My sister-in-law said it was the best dessert I've ever made. I think we should be putting that streusel on everything!

After picking apples this week, I made this apple crisp last night for my husbands birthday and it was indeed INCREDIBLE!!! I double the recipe and holy moly, the crisp was indeed crisp and a huge hit. I was able to send some home with my dad and I’m pretty sure I’ll be having some this morning with my tea!!!! I did save a little bit more of topping and going to make my BFF a two serving birthday crisp today! This will definitely be my go to recipe!
