Simple Homemade Apple Crisp
This cozy apple crisp is a classic comfort dessert that everyone in the family will love.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like the smell of cinnamon and baked apples filling the kitchen on a crisp afternoon. This recipe is a favorite because it uses simple pantry staples to turn fresh fruit into something warm and wonderful.
My best tip is to use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. The contrast in textures makes every bite taste just a little bit better.

Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. You can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days, just reheat them in the oven to keep the topping crunchy.
