Tips and variations

  • You can use this same recipe to make any type of fruit crisp. Swap out the apples with 6 1/2 cups of one or more fruits chopped. Softer fruits (berries, etc.) may need less baking time than the apples.
  • This is a great recipe to make for those who have an allergy to gluten. Swap out the 2/3 cup flour with a gluten-free flour such as almond flour. It will not effect the taste.
