If you’ve tried our regular Apple Crisp Recipe then you know just how delicious this baked apple Dessert Recipe is.

SHEET PAN APPLE CRISP
The apple filling in an Apple Crisp recipe is similar to an Apple Pie. The difference is instead of having to bake it in a pie crust, you top it off with a simple brown sugar and old fashioned oats topping. The crisp, crumb topping is easy to make and goes perfectly with the gooey apple filling.
Baked apples are the ultimate Fall and Winter treat. When you want a flavorful and comforting dessert, it’s impossible to go wrong with an easy Apple Crisp. It’s filled with warm flavor from the cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar that blends perfectly with the tart apples.
Apple Crisp is definitely a recipe that begs to be served with ice cream. For the ultimate treat top the warm crisp off with Vanilla Ice Cream. If you want even more sweetness put out a bowl of Caramel Sauce for everyone to drizzle over the top.
