Below are notes about some of the ingredients, along with ideas for substitutes.Apples - As with many apple recipes, you can use any variety of apple that you like to make this recipe. I like to use a combination of sweet and tart apples. Our favorite apple combination is a Granny Smith apple which is a tart apple and a Honeycrisp apple which is a sweet apple. Once they are baked, they are the perfect blend of sweet, tart, and tender apples.Other good apple choices are Pink Lady, Jonagold, Braeburn or gala apples.Maple syrup - This recipe is low in added sweetener (maple syrup) as the natural sweetness of the apples enhances the delicious flavor of fresh ingredients. However, if you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a little more sweetener.Substitutes for maple syrup" use an equal amount of honey, brown rice syrup or two tablespoons coconut sugar, date sugar or organic brown sugar.Graham Crackers - The crackers that I use in this recipe are low sugar such as these from Nairins or Annie's Graham Crackers. But any of your favorite graham crackers will work in this recipe.Oats - Old-fashioned oats are the best choice of oats to use in this recipe. If they aren't available, you can use quick oats. Steel-cut oats are not recommended due to their texture.Walnuts - Chopped pecans or almonds are an excellent substitute for chopped walnuts in apple crisp.Vegan apple crisp - Substituting the butter with an equal amount of unrefined coconut oil.Gluten-free apple crisp - Use gluten-free oats, crackers, or almond flour for the topping for a gluten-free version.Nut-free apple crisp - leave out the walnuts. To add some crunch, replace the walnuts with pepitas or sunflower seeds.Apple and pear crisp - Change up the fruit by using a combination of diced pears and apples instead of only apples for a mixed fruit crisp.Coconut apple crisp - Mix shredded coconut into the oat topping for a tropical twist.Berry apple crisp - Mix in some blueberries or raspberries with the apples for a burst of flavor.Cranberry apple crisp - Add ¼ cup frozen cranberries and an extra tablespoon of sugar.Serve individual mini apple crisps after a special dinner with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fresh whipped cream or a few slices of cheddar cheese. These mini crisps are also a great addition to a dessert tray along with no-bake brownies, and cookies.You can also make this apple crisp recipe in one serving dish, such as a small skillet or larger ramekin topped with a scoop of ice cream.Make-ahead: This delicious dessert can be prepared ahead of time up to a day before baking it. Store the unbaked ramekins of apple crisp in the refrigerator.Remove the ramekins from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking, and bake them according to the instructions in the recipe card.If you end up with leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.Enjoy leftovers cold, at room temperature or reheat them in a 350-degree oven or in the microwave.What is the difference between apple crumble, apple cobbler and apple crisp? An apple crisp layer of topping contains oats and nuts. The apple crumble topping is made with flour, butter, and sugar and does not contain oats and nuts. An apple cobbler is usually made in a deep dish, and the topping is made with dropped biscuit dough. Can I freeze apple crisp? It's best to thaw these before baking. Once they are assembled, wrap them well and freeze them for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, bake them from frozen. You may need to add a few extra minutes of baking time. Can I use store-bought apple pie filling instead of making my own? You can use store-bought filling. However, when you make your own, you can control the sugar and they will taste fresh.GET YOUR FREE GUIDE!Whip up quick and delicious meals with the ingredients you have in your kitchen!Do you like this recipe?
