I have made this apple crisp recipe dozens and dozens of times.
It is will become a family favorite.
It’s a delicious apple pie without the crust. You can make this in 20 minutes.
You add sliced Granny Smith apples with cinnamon & sugar, then top with a oatmeal topping.
It’s a classic dessert served usually during Fall, but is wonderful to make throughout the year.
Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
I always use Granny Smith and peel the skins. I have seen other recipes where different apples are used and they keep the skins on.
It’s up to you. You may have a favorite apple and love the peels on.
