I made this for my husband's annual thanksgiving lunch potluck. It was delicious! I did cut the water in half, cut the sugar in the apples in half and doubled the crust. Next time I would use 1 1/2 times the crust instead of 2 times, as I felt the crust was a bit too thick. Overall, I felt it was better than apple pie!

The apple crisp topping is perfect and I didn't change a thing there. I did alter the apple filling by using half the sugar listed and instead of the water, I used 1/2 tsp of lemon juice. Also, instead of one big 9x13 pan, I used individual 3oz ramekins. About 1 1/2 sliced apples fit per ramekin and the topping amount made can be used for about 4-6 ramekins depending on how thickn you prefer your crisp topping.

Wow is this good! Per many reviews, I added 1/4c water, doubled the topping and cut in the butter cold rather than melting. Also added 1 c chopped pecans to the topping which is a must if you like nuts! I used both quick cooking and regular rolled oats and it worked fine!!

I've made this twice now and it's been GREAT both times! Plan to make again in the next day or two. Delicious, homey recipe. Be sure and use a mix of BAKING apple varieties. Not all apples are suited for baking. I read some of the negative reviews and can't figure out where they went wrong. For those complaining that the topping is too dry, be sure that you've melted the butter and mixed it thoroughly with the other topping ingredients. Kudos, Diane, on a recipe going in my permanent file!

So delicious! Even my mom who has made her own recipe for years asked me for this recipe! I followed other reviews - mix apples with sugar mixture instead of sprinkling and double the topping. I've also made an 8 x 8 pan by halving recipe and even made mini servings for me and my hubby. Can you tell I like this??

I live with an apple crisp fanatic. I made this for him and he was very impressed and it got rave reviews. I followed the recipe exactly but left out the baking soda because I didn't have any. Perfect easy recipe just the way it was written!

This is a delicious recipe as is, but I tweaked it a bit and was very pleased with the results--as are all the people who've tried it. I used 6 Granny Smith apples, doubled the amount of cinnamon and added a scant teaspoon of ground cloves, then tossed the apples with the sugar-spice mixture. I divided the apples between 2 smaller baking dishes, used 1/4 cup water in each--which I found was a perfect amount once the dishes had cooled to room temp. I doubled the recipe for the crumble and added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the mix. I'd planned to cut in the butter, but in my rush to soften the butter, I had half melted and half softened, so I cut in the softened chunks. Very nice results!

I think this should have been baked a bit longer as the apples I used were still crunchy. I added some crushed cinnamon graham crackers for extra flavor. I would probably also double the topping next time. Otherwise, this is a great recipe!

This is a great recipe. I was looking for the old-fashioned crisp like mom makes and this is it! I've made it twice now; the first time exactly as the recipe's writtten, and the second time I added an extra 1/2 cup of oats, (btw, both times I used regular oats-quick cooking wasn't necessary). Anyway, I got absolutely rave reviews from my co-workers both times. I plan on making this for Thanksgiving.

Wonderful recipe! Easy to do and tastes fabulous! I had quite a few apples so I doubled the recipe and added 15 mins to the cooking time. Just as easy to do! I highly recommend this one!

The best apple crisp EVER. I mixed the cinnamon mixture up with the apples, rather than sprinkle on. And I didn't add the water. I let it sit for awhile before baking, so there was plenty of water in there already. Again, best crisp EVER.

This is some of the best apple crisp I've ever had! The only modifications I made was to coat the apples with the sugar mixture instead of sprinkling it on top and I used margarine instead of butter. I've also experimented a bit with the water. The first time I made it, I tried 1/4 cup based on the reviews on here. It was quite watery, but still delicious and it didn't ruin it or anything. This time I only added 1/8 cup, and it was still too runny. Next time, I'll just omit the water. Absolutely fabulous recipe- I used Granny Smith apples and they worked perfectly. Delicious!

Very, very good recipe. Definitely a keeper. I kept everything the same but I reduced the water to 1/8, not bad, not too runny but next time I think I'll leave it out. I used Granny Smith apples and added some nutmeg to the apples and doubled the toppping, perfect!! Thanks a bunch my family loves it!!!
