Best Apple Crisp Recipe

Saturday, March 18, 2023
Apple Crisp is a fall favorite recipe that graces our table often. It's simple enough to make that even those that don't bake can make a truly amazing dessert. It's a favorite on the dessert table for Thanksgiving and Christmas as an alternative to apple pie, but easy enough for any night of the week.

As a kid whenever we went to a large family gathering there was always an amazing Apple Crisp on the dessert table waiting to be devoured.

This recipe for Apple Crisp is easy enough to make make any night of the week, but still a favorite for the Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert table. It's simply the best!

I used a combination of Granny Smith and Braeburn apples in this crisp. I've used Pinova Apples in the past and love them equally. They are a little harder to come by sometimes.

I find using a blend of apples gives the filling a nice depth of flavor from the sweet and tart apple combination along with plenty of cinnamon, and a little vanilla for warmth. The lemon juicy adds a brightness to the flavor, and really brings the crisp together.

The crisp topping is sweet, but not overly sweet, and extra crunchy to compliment a large scoop of ice cream.

I know you'll love this recipe for the Best Apple Crisp as much as we do!

Banana Pudding Cheesecake Recipe

A Banana Pudding Cheesecake recipe that is a stunner. Classic Banana Pudding gets taken up a couple levels in this heavenly baked cheesecake. A delicious twist on a Southern favorite. 


Baked Banana Cheesecake in a Nilla Wafer Crust is topped with Homemade Banana Pudding for a delicious mouthful in every bite.

One of my most popular recipes has always been this No Bake Banana Pudding Cheesecake Pie followed by these delicious little Mini Banana Pudding Cheesecakes

A few readers over the years have said the no bake version doesn't count as cheesecake so those looking for a Baked Banana Pudding Cheesecake can stop searching because this makes the most deliciously creamy Banana Cheesecake recipe ever! 

When I bought a new Cheesecake pan I knew this was going to be the recipe to test the pan out in. For those who are looking for a new Cheesecake Pan like me I will tell you I love the USA Pan 9" Leak Proof Spring Form Pan which worked better then all those years of wrapping the pan in foil.

It is totally delicious without the banana pudding on top with just whipped cream but I know someone was bound to give me a hard time if I didn't add pudding even though it still had all the flavors of Banana Cream in the Cheesecake. So, I decided to add the layer of Banana Pudding from scratch on top to send it over the top.

This is the ultimate Southern Dessert.
