This apple crisp showcases apples at their best! The combination of warm, tender apples and the crunchy oat topping is one of my favorite desserts. Delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Making irresistible apple crisp is surprisingly easy. You just need a good recipe — and that's where we come in! This top-rated apple crisp recipe with a sweet oat topping is sure to satisfy everyone at your table. Use whatever all-purpose apples you prefer.
