Old Fashioned Freezable Apple Crisp

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg together until well combined.

Step 3

Pour in the melted butter and stir using a spoon (or your hands) until it comes together and starts crumbling into smaller pieces. Set aside.

Step 4

Thinly slice your apples (I like using my trusty apple-peeler-corer-slicer device, but a knife will work too). You can keep the peels on or remove them, either way works.

Step 5

Lightly grease your 8x8 pan using cooking spray or butter.

Step 6

Place apples in pan then sprinkle toppings over apples. It will seem like there is too much crumb topping as it can heap over the top, however it will bake down and be just perfect.

Step 7

Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, or until crisp topping is golden brown and you can see or hear the cooked apples bubbling inside. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and optionally some salted caramel sauce.

Step 8

After adding the apple crisp topping over apples, cover with several layers of plastic wrap. Then cover with foil. Write the cooking directions on the foil and freeze.

Step 9

Simply remove frozen apple crisp from freezer, remove plastic wrap and foil, replace foil.

Step 10

Bake covered in 350°F oven for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake for remaining time of 40-55 minutes or until crisp topping is golden brown and you can see or hear the cooked apples bubbling inside. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and optionally some salted caramel sauce.
