How to Serve Apple Crisp

Apple Crisp is best served warm. You can enjoy it on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. A drizzle of caramel sauce also makes a delightful addition.

How to Store Apple Crisp

To store leftovers, let the Apple Crisp cool completely. Then, cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven as desired.

Tips to Make Apple Crisp

• For extra flavor, you can mix in different fruits along with the apples, such as pears or berries.
• Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for a more complex flavor.
• Make sure the butter is cold for the best crumbly topping.
• Don’t skip the lemon juice, as it helps to balance the sweetness and enhances the flavor of the apples.

You can easily modify this recipe by substituting gluten-free oats and flour for a gluten-free version. You can also add nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the topping for added crunch.
