The very best way to enjoy your apple crisp is to top it with some vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel or toffee sauce. A dollop of whipped cream is also a good choice. Enjoy!
💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes
- Firm semi-tart to tart apples are best, such as Granny Smith, Jonathon apples, Braeburn apples, Pink lady apples, etc.
- Everyone's oven is different. If your streusel topping starts getting too dark but your apples aren't fully cooked, simply cover your baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil until done.
- Storing: Leftover apple crisp with oats should be covered and refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: Quickly warm up individual portions in the microwave, or the entire baking dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
