- Granny Smith Apples
- Braeburn Apples
- Pink Lady Apples
- Cortland Apples
- Fuji Apples
- Jonagold Apples

Topping Ideas
Apple Crisp is amazing on its own, but if you want it up it a notch you could add some toppings.
Try some of these suggestions:
- Caramel Sauce (try my homemade caramel sauce or store-bought)
- Vanilla Ice Cream (make your own homemade vanilla ice cream or use your favorite brand)
- Butterscotch Sauce
- Whipped cream
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to three days. You can eat it cold if you like, but I prefer to heat mine in the microwave first.
Apple Crisp freezes well. Bake it as directed and then let it cool completely. Cover it with aluminum foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Heat in the oven at 350F for about 20 minutes.
