The Best Apple Crisp Recipe

This Apple Crisp recipe is the best fall dessert ever! Fresh sliced apples are topped with a buttery cinnamon oat topping that tastes divine with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The recipe uses Honeycrisp apples for their sweet and tart flavor, but other varieties like Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Braeburn, or Pink Lady will also work well. The apples are combined with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract before being baked. The topping is made with flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and melted butter. Bake for 45-60 minutes until the apples are soft and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and caramel sauce.
