Best Apple Crisp Ever

“A no-fuss, very delicious version of apple crisp, sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon and flour are stirred together and then piled into a square baking pan. Melted butter and a beaten egg, mixed with a flour, sugar and cinnamon mixture are spread over the top and the Best Apple Crisp Ever is baked in the oven until bubbly and crisp.”

DO NOT add egg to crumb topping or its impossible to spread on top - also I added 1 tsp lemon juice & 1/2 tsp cinnamon to apple mixture for added flavor

I had a bunch of apples and wanted to make apple crisp, but I had no oats, so a google-search later I found this recipe. Basically, it was really good. Really easy to make and satisfied my desire for some apple-y goodness. I was worried because I read the reviews while it was in the oven, but if it turned out as bad as some of you say, you obviously did something wrong. I followed it step for step and it turned out fabulous. As good as something with oats? No. But you get what you make. If your topping wasn't easy to spread or was kind of like a batter, you did it wrong. There was very little amount of liquid in ratio to the dry ingredients of the topping. What you got was more a moistened, crumbly thing of flour and sugar, rather than anything like others describe.Thanks a lot, Olga, I'll be keeping this recipe in mind!

Well, I thought this recipe turned out great! Not to sure why others had trouble, but this recipe is very delicious - turned out just like the picture. The crust (even once cooled) was nice and crumbly, easy to eat and blended wonderfully with the sweet apple filling. I will probably mix the flour with quick cooking oats for the topping the next time, only because I like oats. Follow the directions and you will end up with a delicious apple crisp. Thanks for the great recipe!

I tweaked a bit - used gala apples, skipped the brown sugar and replaced it with a mixture of white sugar/cinnamon of threw in a half cup of raisins and crushed pecans. I also used an extra egg in the topping mixture, made it more spreadable. Baked for 40 minutes and it is nice and syrupy, not at all dry like some of the other reviews. My family devoured it. It'll be a main dessert dish at my family Thanksgiving this year for sure.

I followed this recipe pretty much exactly. (The only thing I did differently was blend the egg and butter separately into the dry mix, since I was afraid of scrambling the egg.) It turned out great! And so easy!

I never write a bad review as I have never had a failure in the recipes at AllRecipes.com but I feel compelled to warn others to avoid this recipe. How it can be labelled the best apple crisp ever is a mystery. No one liked it. I agree with the comments by the other reviewers that had a failure.

Not nearly as bad as other reviewers say...I didn't read the reviews before I started this and when I came back to this page and started reading some of the negative reviews after it was already in the oven, I was a little nervous. So I covered it in foil for about 20 minutes of its cooking time so that it wouldnt become dry, then removed the foil a few minutes before taking it out and turned the broiler on to crisp just the very top. Turned out just fine. Also to note, I used a loaf pan instead of a square pan because I like a more even helping of apples and topping (obviously did not have to use all of the topping...more like 2/3 of it). Additionally, I used half white flour and half wheat flour and honestly could barely tell a difference in the taste. I also used an apple corer/slicer, then cut the slices in thirds. Made it more manageable to eat and I felt like it allowed the apples to spread more evenly.

Pretty good, I havent had apple crisp in a few years so Im not sure if this is what it is supposed to taste like. I added half of a banana, a little bit of vanilla, and fruits and nuts granola cereal on the top. I thought it was too sweet so I would recommend putting in less sugar.
