Grandma’s Apple Crisp

Happy Sunday, friends!

We spent a busy weekend at home, getting a few things done and a few errands run. (Costco on a Saturday morning? Yep, I survived.) Plus the sheets on all the beds are clean – with Teacher Man making all the beds while I made a ginormous run to Target later this afternoon. Yay! (For some reason, I dislike actually making the beds, but I’m super happy when I can get all the sheets washed.)

We also spent a fun Saturday evening with friends, enjoying a great dinner, good conversation, and a lot of laughs. I brought dessert and made my Grandma’s apple crisp recipe in individual ramekins. I topped each with some vanilla ice cream and homemade caramel sauce (easy peasy recipe from The Pioneer Woman) and it was about as perfect as could be.

In fact, it was so good, I decided to make more tonight as I was still craving it. 🙂 Apple crisp for breakfast? Yes!

I blogged this recipe several years ago but decided to update all the photos and re-blog it tonight. It’s too good not to share … again!

What apples should I use?

I suggest a mix of two varieties if possible – Honeycrisp and Gala make two good choices, but you could use Gala and Granny Smith, too. 

Can I make this in individual ramekins?

You sure can! They may bake a little faster so just keep an eye on them around the 25 minute mark to see if the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.

Can I halve this recipe?

Absolutely! Cut all ingredients in half and use a 9×9 square baking dish.

A classic apple crisp version from my Grandma Anderson - full of cinnamon, apples and the most amazing crunchy topping.

• 1 cup old fashioned oats

• Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until nicely browned.

Notes

I like Honeycrisp apples for this recipe in the fall, but Granny Smith also is a great choice. You can even do a mix of both varieties!

I use 1/2 cup sugar but if you like your apple crisp a little sweeter, then you can up it to 3/4 cup.

When using individual ramekins, I mixed the apples, sugar and flour together in a bowl and then divided the mixture up amongst 10 (7-ounce) ramekins.

You can easily halve the recipe to fit in a 9x9 square pan or 5 individual ramekins - just adjust all ingredients accordingly.

Sere with vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with caramel sauce, if desired!
