Apple Crisp Without Oats

I followed this recipe to the letter and was not happy with the way it turned out. The apples were overcooked/mushy at 1 hour, so I’d recommend you start checking for doneness around 45 minutes. Mostly, I just didn’t care for the topping, and it wasn’t so much a lack of oats. I simply would have preferred that the butter was mixed into the topping, rather than a scant amount of melted butter drizzled over the top. And it definitely needs more butter. It was crispy on the top, almost hard actually, didn’t brown very nicely, and not very juicy. This recipe has been around a long time, and it’s one I won’t attempt to tweak. I just prefer some of my other apple crisp recipes, so I’ll be movin’ on.

Simple & delicious. First time trying this.

I made this just to try it and boy oh boy was it a hit with my husband and kids. They now ask me to make it almost 8-10 times during the fall/winter months. I also added a 1/4 cup quick oats for an extra crunch and added 1/4 cup of brown sugar instead of white for the topping. And in the mixture of dough I added 1table spoon of vanilla extract gives its a more savory taste. Although if you just make it as the recipe says it’s also very good. Enjoy!!

This recipe is easy to follow but you have to tweak it. Next time I'm going to add 1/4 of a cup of butter (I use Smart Balance) and mix the apples with the dough mixture so that it mixes better.
