With all the apples I got from my little apple tree out back, I decided to add some desserts to my freezer by making a bunch of Apple Crisp. This is a recipe we had a lot growing up, and in my humble opinion, it’s the only way to have apple crisp. It bothers me when I have apple crisp with an inadequate amount of topping. This recipe does not have that problem. It has a sufficient amount of apples with an overload of yummy oatmeal brown sugar and buttery goodness on top. Let’s get one thing straight, we don’t do skimpy around here… you can ask my thighs.
This freezer friendly apple crisp is easy, delicious and more importantly a perfect way to use up my apples in the fall. I gotta say, there is nothing better than sitting around on a fall evening with a sweet tooth and coming to the realization that you have some ready-to-be-baked apple crisp in your freezer. Pure bliss. It’s also a great dessert to have on one of those long days that you just don’t want to cook anything and you already have a freezer meal in the oven. Finish it off with a freezer meal dessert! Best. Night. Ever. Here’s how to make this recipe.
Apple Crisp
First make up the topping. Add brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg to a large bowl. Stir together.
Next add in melted butter. Mix until crumbly. Set aside.
Cut up your apples into thin slices. I love this apple peeler corer thing. Best thrift store find ever!

Look how nicely it cuts them up for me.
Place apples in a greased 8×8 baking dish.
Pour topping over apples.
I made a bunch of these to freeze. I will be one happy lady this fall! Look at these babies all ready to be covered in foil and placed in the freezer!
If you are making these for the freezer then just cover, label, and freeze.
If you’re preparing to eat right away, go ahead and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
Looks so good I might have to pull one out of the freezer right now. Enjoy!

September 21, 2018 at 6:06 amI followed the recipe measurements but somehow got 2 8×8 disposable pans worth. Anyone else have this experience? Still delicious though and a recipe I’ll use again!

October 18, 2018 at 10:32 amI wasn’t sure where to post this.. so I thought I’d try here. If I don’t have foil containers for freezer would Tupperware work for the apple crisp? Many thanks.
