What’s the difference between apple crisp and apple crumble?

While they’re very similar, apple crisp usually includes oats in the topping for added texture and crunch. Apple crumble, on the other hand, tends to use a more streusel-like topping without oats.

Can I use canned apples for this recipe?

You can, but fresh apples are best for flavor and texture. If using canned apples, be sure to drain them well and reduce added sugar since they’re often pre-sweetened.

How do I store leftover apple crisp?

Let the crisp cool completely, then cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F to maintain the topping’s crispness.

Can I freeze apple crisp?

Absolutely. Freeze unbaked (wrapped well in foil) for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen at 350°F for about an hour, or until hot and bubbly.
