Easy Apple Crisp

When the Fall weather turns a bit chilly it seems the right time for apple desserts!  My husband loves ANYTHING apple, and this recipe for Apple Crisp is one I have been making for years.

Here is the recipe card - you can see it has been used many times over the years.   I got this back in the 1980's when Bisquick had a kind of recipe club you could join and the company would send you recipe cards a few times a year. My mom was a big Bisquick user - she always had it on hand and would make dumplings for stew or chicken, and a quick coffee cake when needed.  I am the same - I always have Bisquick on hand - though now I use the "Heart Smart" Bisquick.  

Like my mom - who was a great cook - I use it for dumplings and most often for pancakes.  And I use it in this recipe for Apple Crisp!

Let's start making the recipe - and I will put the exact recipe at the bottom of the post.

First, ready 5-6 cups of sliced pared apples - about 6 medium apples.

Place them in an 8x8 square dish that has been lightly greased or sprayed with baking spray.

Then assemble your ingredients.

Put the Bisquick, sugar and egg into a bowl and mix together by hand until it forms a crumbly mix.

It seems like there is not enough egg to mix in, but after a few stirs you can see the crumbly mix...

Then spread that mixture over the apples.

The recipe calls for melted butter or margarine, but over the years I have simplified it by using Squeeze Parkay.

Then sprinkle ground cinnamon over all - the recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon...but I put on a lot!

Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven until topping is golden brown and apples are tender - about 30 to 35 minutes.

WARNING - your home will smell amazing while this is baking!!!

Remove from oven, let cool slightly - serves 6.

Spoon into a dessert dish and top with whipped cream.  You can also top with ice cream - a treat when the dish is still warm.  After our first serving I cover the pan and put it in the refrigerator  - we enjoy it for a few days.  Easy - and a great taste of Fall!

Apple Crisp/Crumble
