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

I always have to dig through all of them in order to find this particular one. It’s by far my favorite, coming out perfectly every single time we make it. 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. It’s always perfect and delicious. If I hadn’t missed cherry season this year, I would have made cherry crisp. That’s my favorite, I think.

My Favorite Apple Crisp
 

Ingredients
  • 5-7 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ½ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
  • 1 yellow cake mix
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend, divided

Instructions
  1. Arrange apples in a 9×9 or similarly sized round baking dish. (I like to make this in a round dish.) Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over apples.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine butter, nuts, cake mix, sugar, and remaining cinnamon. Mix well, until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
  3. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until crumb is golden brown.
  4. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.

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!

I will be making this IMMEDIATELY. What kind(s) of apples do you recommend?

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.
