This delectable dessert is so delicious, you’d be surprised at absolutely how easy it is to make! Quick And Easy Apple Crisp is warm and gooey in the center, with a crispy, perfectly textured top.
It’s finally happening. I am getting to share one of my absolute favorite dessert recipes with you.
It has everything a perfect dessert should have:
Gooeyness. Somewhere in any dessert, I need to feel that ooey, gooey deliciousness. And this cinnamon-apple center is exactly that.
Some sort of crunch. It’s necessary to balance out the gooeyness of the dessert! The “crisp” comes from a combination of rolled oats, sugar, cinnamon, and coconut.
An aroma that fills your home. Yes, I absolutely love the taste of this dessert. But I equally enjoy the smell that radiates throughout my home when this is cooking.
So what’s the difference between this Apple Crisp and a classic Apple Pie?
No Pie Crust. You can skip the hassle of making your own pie crust with this recipe. This Apple Crisp is made from scratch, minus a pie crust.
More Streusel-Like Topping. This is what I love most about this recipe. Don’t get me wrong, I love pies, but there’s something about this streusel topping that is just unbeatable. It’s soft, yet crisp. It’s full of flavor from cinnamon, brown sugar, coconut oil, and maple syrup.
So if you’re looking for the perfect apple dessert that doesn’t take you down a guilt-induced spiral, this Quick and Easy Apple Crisp is the one!
