Desserts/ Pie

Apple Crisp

Granny Smith apples are the base of this dessert, topped with a buttery, sugary and cinnamon crisp topping.  This crisp part is even easier to make because it is made with Bisquick!

This crisp is so simple to put together. Just peel, core and slice the apples.  You want to cut them into 1/4-inch wide slices.

And then make that topping.  Oh that crisp topping.

Print Recipe
Serves: 10 Cooking Time: 35-40 minutes

Ingredients

  • TOPPING:
  • 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Bisquick
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • FILLING:
  • 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Lightly spray the bottom of a pie dish with baking spray.

2

TOPPING: in a medium sized bowl, combine the butter, sugar Bisquick and cinnamon using a pastry blender or two forks. Combine until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Set aside.

3

FILLING: In a bowl, combine the peeled, cored and sliced apples with the lemon juice. Stir to coat the apples. Drain the excess lemon juice and pour the apples into the prepared pie dish evenly. Add the topping, covering the apples completely. Bake uncovered in 350-degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until apples are soft when tested with a fork.

4

Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers tightly covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.

All that’s missing is a scoop of vanilla ice cream!  Apple crisp leftovers are great reheated in the microwave for a few seconds.

    I think I will definitely have to try this. My trio aren’t huge chayote fans. But I could hide it in a crisp. Genius.

    What an interesting combination, Kelly! I have actually cooked with Chayote but it was many years ago, when I found a recipe for “Stuffed Chayote” in a Cajun/Creole Cookbook. I was surprised to find it so easily in the grocery, since I’d never even heard of it before then. It was delicious, but it never occurred to me to pair it with a fruit like apple. Brilliant combo, as it is a mild and delicious flavor!

      Thank you Laura!! This was my first time ever working with Chayote and I had thought about doing a stuffed squash recipe, but decided to try and make a sweet recipe with it instead 🙂
