Apple Crisp - Freezer Friendly

This apple crisp is one of our favorite ways to use our abundant harvest of golden delicious apples.  We typically make a batch to eat, then 4-5 to freeze.  We've had some a year or two later, and they're still delicious.  The crumble recipe is, in my opinion, adequate for a full 9x13 pan of apples.  But nobody would say the crisp isn't delicious condensed to the 8x8 pan ;).  I found the recipe here.  Enjoy!

Notes

Tips
  • My favorite apples to use for this recipe are granny smith apples - the right amount of tart and sweet. If you don’t like granny smith apples and think they’re too tart? Try honeycrisp instead. Honeycrisp apples are a good alternative but they are slightly sweeter.
  • A pound of apples is about 3 cups of sliced apples depending on their size. So for this recipe I would use just under one pound of apples.
  • I love to add a big scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream to my apple crisp. You could add salted caramel sauce and cool whip. You could also sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top.
