Hello Friends!
It’s officially Autumn here at ASW Homestead — the leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and the apple harvest is in full swing. To celebrate the changing seasons, I whipped up a batch of our family-favorite Apple Crisp.
This recipe is a frugal and flavorful way to use up apples that are starting to soften. In fact, it shines when you mix apple varieties — like the eight Gala and Ginger Gold apples I had on hand from the Red Apple Barn. The results? A perfectly sweet and tender apple filling with a golden, buttery crumble on top.
You can find a downloadable recipe card below, and be sure to check out our other fall favorites like Applesauce and Apple Butter!
This apple crisp is best served warm, straight from the oven. We love to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top — the contrast of cold and warm makes it extra comforting!
You could also:
Drizzle with caramel sauce for a decadent touch
Pair it with whipped cream for a lighter topping
Serve alongside a warm cup of Homemade Hot Cocoa for a cozy evening treat
It’s a perfect dessert for family dinners, fall gatherings, or just a sweet reward after a day spent working around the homestead.
We hope you enjoy this simple and satisfying apple crisp as much as we do. It’s one of our go-to desserts during apple season and always disappears fast — especially when served with ice cream!
We’d love to know: What’s your favorite way to use up apples in the fall?
