Maple Apple Crisp is a dessert my family loves and can’t get enough of! There is nothing that can compare to the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. A quick and easy to make apple dessert that uses simple ingredients you usually have on hand. Classic desserts like this one, Apple Cobbler and my Grandma’s Apple Pie are always a huge hit.
Key Ingredients
- Apples: I am lucky to have an apple tree in my yard that produces delicious apples that taste similar to a McIntosh. Other great varieties to use would be Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Gala or Pink Lady.
- Maple Syrup: rich in sweetness, pure maple syrup elevates the flavor of this classic dessert.
- Oats: use large flake or old fashioned oats, quick cooked oats will not give the crisp the same crunchy texture.
- Minute Tapioca: I find Minute tapioca is superior to flour to use as a thickener in fruit desserts.
