I purchased a cookbook from our local Amish a year ago and have loved the simplicity of the recipes I’ve found inside. This Apple Crisp recipe comes right from that cookbook from our little community a few miles down the road.

What I love most about this recipe is how simple it is with a single layer of crisp apples and then a crumble topping that is absolutely delicious!

How to Make Apple Crisp The Amish Way

1. Peel apples and thinly slice to layer in a cake pan.
2. In a bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in the butter.
3. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
4. Bake at 350˚F for 40 minutes or until the apples are bubbly and soft.

Apple Crisp Suggestions

Tart Apples: For any dessert recipe with apples you want to use a variety that is tart. I prefer Jonagold but when I can’t find them I use Granny Smith. Using a non-tart apple will alter the taste, and in my opinion not offer the same flavor as a tart apple would.

Cold Butter: When cutting in the butter, make sure it is cold. This helps to give that crumbly texture to any fruit crisp as it bakes.

Serve Warm with Ice Cream: Nothing goes better with a bowl of warm apple crisp than a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!
