This Honeycrisp apple recipe is an easy dessert using the best apples and it can be made in under an hour. Let the kids do the peeling and I promise this delicious dessert will disappear fast.
Honeycrisp apples are crisp to the bite and have the sweetest taste. They are the best kind of apples for this delicious apple dessert. And they are available year-round at the local grocer.
My boys can’t get enough.
Apple season in Ohio is the best way to stock up on this fresh fruit. Honeycrisp apples are a favorite apple of mine and I always come home with a peck or two. My boys typically go apple picking with me and we all have our favorite. For Will it’s granny smith apples and for Ben it’s pink lady apples.
I made this last night. It was a hit! ~ Pat
Lucky for me, both boys know how to make this recipe own their own. It’s great walking into the kitchen to see one peeling apples and the other mixing a large bowl of the homemade apple crumb topping.
Steps to make this easy apple crisp recipe
Peel and slice your perfect apple. For us it’s honeycrisp. But if you prefer a different variety of apple, then pick up your favorite at the farm market or store. After peeling, you’ll place the apple slices in a rectangular or square pan.
Make the oat mixture. In a medium bowl combine all purpose flour, gluten-free oats, granulated sugar, cinnamon and melted pieces of butter to make an oat crumble.
Add the topping. Cover the entire baking dish of sliced apples with the oat and flour mixture.
Bake the best apple crisp. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake for about 45 minutes until the topping has a crisp texture. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Can you prepare this honeycrisp apple recipe the day before?
Absolutely! You can make it the day before, store in the fridge, and reheat it in the oven before serving it to your guests.
It is simple and easy to make. The hardest part is coring the apples.
It’s amazing what kind of help you can get in the kitchen when your cooking assistants know what the prize is.
The apple crisp crumb topping is crumbly and sweet. It’s a great complement to warm, cinnamon-spiced cooked apples.
Honeycrisp apples are my favorite kinds of apples because they are sweet and juicy and go great in any pie, tart or crisp.
Honey crisp apples are our all time favorite!!!! Love this crisp, perfect warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream! ~ Allie
Should this fall dessert recipe be refrigerated?
The crisp should be allowed to cool after baking until it reaches room temperature. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to two days.
Trust me it won’t last that long if you have kids or spouses that love it as much as mine do.
Do you serve apple crisp warm or cold?
You can serve it warm or cold. If you make it ahead of time, bring it to room temperature first. Otherwise, warm up the crisp in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Honeycrisp apples are my FAVORITE! And my husband loves apple crisp!
This is the perfect dessert. Perfect for fall. Thanks Liz.
I adore crisps. I seriously barely ever make them because I have no self control around them! That’s awesome that your sons were whipping one up!
As of this post, they have been busy in the kitchen. They love it. It does not last long.
Love what you did here with the presentation. The crisp is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you Nic. It lasted about 5 minutes.
And we have been so lucky with some great batches of honey crisp this year! I’m always stocking up!
They are delicious this year. So sweet. Yum.
Yum! Apple crisp is a perfect autumn dessert.
Marye….my kids just gobble it up. Perfect dessert.

Thanks Pat 😉 My boys love it too…
My all time favorite. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Simon
Thank you so much. It has become a favorite of mine as well.
What is an 11 x 2 pan ?
Must be me, I don’t see anyone else asking.
Thanks Steve for bringing this to my attention. It should say 11 x 7 inch pan. You can also use an 13 x 9 inch pan and just chop an additional apple or two. Hope you enjoy it 🙂
My husband and I just ate more than I want to admit . This apple crisp is so good!!
It’s addicting….enjoy!
can you make this crisp with almond flour or whole wheat flour?
Absolutely…it’s delicious and healthier with alternate flours. Enjoy 🙂
4 large apples is equal to how many cups?
About 6-8 cups of apples. The idea is to fill a dish with apples with enough room to add the topping on top. You can’t go wrong. Enjoy!
You say to place apples in pan, but you don’t mention if water and cinn go in also. Please advise.
Hi Brenda, you add the sliced apples, water and cinnamon in a bowl. Toss to coat the apples and pour the bowl of apples with the cinnamon and water into a pan. Let me know how it turns out. My kids are big fans. Hope you love it too.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I like this one much better than my old standby so we’ll be using this one from now on. My hubby and two teenage sons were eating this as soon as it came out of the oven!
Hi! I’m here after searching for honeycrisp record since I got some at the orchard. They are so sweet I can’t eat them raw. Will the recipe help cut the sweetness? Is it possible to add less sugar or would that ruin the consistency? Thanks!
These apples will be perfect. You can absolutely reduce the sugar in this recipe. You can cut the sugar in half and add 1/4 cup more flour to have a delicious filling for the crisp. The sweet apples should release their liquid and make this just sweet enough. Enjoy!
