Are you looking for an Old Fashioned Apple Crisp recipe? This apple crisp has oatmeal, and a twist with the addition of half a cup of granola to give it a bit of crunch (but, you can omit this if you rather keep it a traditional apple crisp. This is so good when topped with ice cream. I love autumn and apples, really what’s not to love about them?
Even more, I love is autumn baking with apples. I did a little searching for easy apple crisp recipes to try and decided to try my hand at creating my own version. I came up with a delicious looking one. I added a little bit of crunchy goodness to the top. Granola with dried cherries. Oh yes, oh yum!
If this isn’t the apple recipe you are looking for you might like to try our Apple Crisp in Mason Jars. The recipe can be made in an 8 x 8 baking dish too.

This is easy to make and takes no time at all other than peeling all the apples, plus bake time. I hope you enjoy the apple crisp recipe as much as I did and you give this apple recipe a try. Of course if you are more traditional you can easily omit the granola just make this a yummy, cinnamon apple crisp.

I love mine served warm just out of the oven. You can top it with ice cream in the evening but, we had it for breakfast as a weekend treat. Perfect for a fall brunch, an afternoon tea or any autumn day you want an apple crisp treat!
Oh, yes! It’s like a little bit of autumn in each bite! I added a little more butter than mentioned on the original recipe but, you can always see how it’s baking during the bake time. If you see that it is a bit dry looking add a touch more butter over the top, helping it to achieve that gooey goodness that is sure to please your autumn heart’s desire.
