My Favorite Apple Crisp Recipe

Tweet

The best easy apple crisp recipe - Makes a simple traditional crumble with cake mix to top the cooked apples or apple pie filling. Quick baked recipe. This classic Pampered Chef recipe with pecans makes a small batch, perfect for one or two or a small family in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan.

Over the years, I’ve posted quite a few different apple crisp recipes.

  • Easy Apple Crisp
  • Crunchy Apple Crisp (the first recipe)
  • Quick Apple Crisp (the second recipe)
  • Grace’s Apple Crisp

I always have to dig through all of them in order to find this particular one.

This one is, by far, my favorite, coming out perfectly every single time we make it. In fact, I’ve completely stopped using my other recipes; this one is just too good.

I’ve made this crisp with pears, with peaches, and with apples, and it’s always perfect and delicious.

This year, we picked ten pounds of sour cherries at the local orchard and made cherry crisp with this recipe. That’s my favorite, I think, because the cherries are slightly tart even after you cook them, combined with the sweetness of the cake-y topping makes a phenomenal dessert.

I was a Pampered Chef Kitchen Consultant for a couple of years immediately after moving out of my parents’ house. It was The Pampered Chef that taught me to cook.

This recipe comes from my old PC days, although I have made a few modifications over the years. The current iteration is my favorite, of course, and I can bet it will be your favorite too.

A few notes:

  • Grace currently has braces and thus cannot eat nuts, so we have to leave them out right now. It’s a bummer because I love them.
  • If you need a gluten-free recipe, you can easily use a gluten-free cake mix and it should come out just fine.
  • As I said above, this recipe works beautifully with any kind of fruit. Just fill your pan about 1/2 way with the uncooked fruit of your choice and top with the crisp topping. Cook until the topping is golden brown and starting to get crispy.
  • Use the cinnamon only if your fruit choice makes sense with it. I use cinnamon or apple pie spice with apples of course, but I also use one or the other with pears. I do not use any spices with peaches, and I use sprinkle a teaspoon or so of almond extract over my cherries.

      Whatever you like will work. We got some Johnny Crisp apples at Strite’s that were simply divine in it, but really, I’ve never made a batch that I didn’t like. Softer apples almost turn to applesauce when you cook them. Crisper apples hold their shape a bit better. Aside from that, use whatever apples you have. Even a combination will work well, as long as you mix them up when you put them in the pan.

    I have mine in the oven right now. It took less than 10minutes to put together from start to finish. SUPER EASY!! I’ll let you know how it turns out… but it smells divine, so I’m sure will be great!
