Everyone loves apple crisp, am I right? What’s not to love? Apples, cinnamon, all the delicious fall flavors. Yum!

It took a few tries, but I think I’ve finally found the right mixture for the crisp topping. The great thing is that it’s totally customizable. If you’re gluten-free then you can easily follow my recipe. If you’re not gluten-free, you can also follow my recipe and just customize it for your preferences.

Recipe Notes:

  • I’ve used all types of apples for this recipe: Granny Smith, Macintosh, Gala, Fuji, Macoun; Choose the ones you and your family like. I personally like using at least 2 different varieties.
  • This recipe could easily be made in a 9 x 13 pan. You would simply need to use more apples, and slightly more flour, nuts and seasonings. Adjust to your liking.
