What are the best apples to use in this apple crisp recipe?

For the most flavor, use a crisp and sweet apple like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Jazz apples.

Can this recipe be made in something other than a skillet?

Yes, it can be baked in anything that will hold the apple crisp! This could be a deep pie dish, a square baking pan, or a casserole dish. As long as the apples cover the dish to where you cannot see the bottom, it can be used to make this apple crisp.

Can flour be used in place of the almond flour?

I have not tested this recipe with regular flour so I cannot guarantee a solid swap. If you would like to give it a try, I suggest using 3/4 cup flour in place of the 1 cup of almond flour.

Can quick oats be used instead?

Yes, quick oats can be used in place of the old fashioned oats.

How do you serve apple crisp?

Allow the crisp to cool for about 15 minutes, then dig in and serve in a bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Does apple crisp need to be refrigerated?

It will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature as long as it is well covered. Otherwise, it can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. Keep in mind that the topping looses it's crispy consistency once it has chilled, so this is best to serve fresh.

Can you freeze apple crisp?

Yes! Once baked and completely cooled, cover in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Allow it to thaw at room temperature before reheating. Bake at 300F for about 10 minutes.

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1 cup (100g) almond flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Add all of the apple crisp filling ingredients to a large bowl and toss to coat the apples.
Pour the apples into an 11″ cast iron skillet (or any baking pan that will hold the apples, as long as the apples cover enough surface area to where you cannot see the bottom of the pan).
Bake the apples for 10 minutes.
While those bake, make the topping. Whisk together all of the ingredients, minus the butter, in a large bowl.
Toss in the cubes of butter and use your fingers to work and mash the butter into the dry ingredients. This will take some time, so keep working until the butter is no longer visible and the crisp mixture will hold together when squeezed in your hand.
When the 10 minutes are up, pull the apples out of the oven and top with the crisp mixture. Spread it the crisp even to fully cover the apples.
Return the crisp to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are bubbling and the crisp is golden brown. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with a loose sheet of foil and continue baking.
Allow the crisp to cool for about 15 minutes, then dig in!
