Apple Crisp is my favorite fall dessert and this crisp has a secret ingredient that makes it even better!
Some of our other favorite fall apple desserts include Apple Pudding Cake , Easy Apple Pie and Apple Sheet Cake with Maple Glaze
This apple crisp recipe is from my sister in law Jayna. We had it for the first time years ago when we were visiting her in Pennsylvania and it has been my “Go To” crisp recipe ever since. As I remember, it was a nice fall day when she served it!
Best Apple Crisp Recipe
The thing that makes this apple crisp recipe so good is that it uses graham cracker crumbs in the topping – which is the best part of a crisp! The “crisp” part of this recipe is so good you will want to eat it all by itself – it would be yummy over any type of crisp (berry, peach etc.) or just by itself on top of ice cream! Did I mentioned I love the “crisp” part of apple crisp!!
What is The Best Kind of Apple for Apple Crisp?
I like to use a tart green apple like Granny Smith but have also used Honey Crisp or Golden Delicious.
How to Make Apple Crisp
- Core, peel and slice apples. I like to cut my apples about 1/4 inch thick. If they are too thin they will get mushy as they bake and if they are too thick, they won’t get tender enough.
- Place sliced apples into a 9 x 13 pan.
- Mix together crisp topping by combining
Does Apple Crisp Have To Be Refrigerated?
I recommend keeping it stored in the refrigerator. It will extend the shelf life of the crisp and prevent the growth of bacteria, especially if it is warm. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and keep refrigerated for up to a week.
It is easy to reheat in the microwave or in the oven.
How to Serve Apple Crisp?
I think it is best served warm but can also be served at room temperature. We always serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream but cinnamon whip cream would be yummy too. Of course caramel sauce is required too. You can find my favorite caramel sauce recipe here. Just drizzle it over the top.

Nutrition Facts:
Beryl Hatton says
In NZ we do not have Graham crackers but I can substitute other plain biscuits that look about the same. How many would I require? Can you give a weight equivalent? I do not know what a sheet of crackers is.
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
8 sheets of graham crackers makes 1 cup of crumbs.
CK says
Whole rectangle sheets of Graham crackers?
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
that would be sheets, the full graham cracker.
