The Oats in this recipe are a great source of those positive carbs your body needs to replenish energy and stay warm. They are loaded with dietary fibers, cholesterol-lowering properties, and improve general metabolic health.

Tips for the Best Apple Crisp
Whether you are an experienced cook, or a newbie testing out a delicious recipe, guidance in the kitchen is always appreciated. So let me pull out some tricks from under my sleeve which will guarantee you perfect results every time!
Tip 1: Slice your apples thinly when preparing for this recipe for an even cook. Although we love a crunchy apple in most occasions, this recipe requires a tender bite.
Tip 2: Although I have always used regular butter for this recipe, you can substitute it with margarine or any dairy-free option if you prefer.
Tip 3: Don’t miss the opportunity of allowing this warm dessert to shine by serving it plain. Serve your Apple Crips with oats with a scoop of traditional vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of salted caramel. The extra sweetness is definitely worthy!
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no right or wrong answer for this question because it completely depends on your personal preference. Although I usually recommend peeling the apples for this recipe, making it kid-friendly, you can keep the skin if you prefer
The difference is quite subtle, but here is what you should know. Both are baked fruit dessert with a layer of toppings. But unlike the apple crisp, an apple crumble’s topping rarely includes oats or nuts.
Fruit fillings prepared with sugar can hold for up to 2 days at room temperature. So if you are planning on eating your dessert within that time period, there is no need to refrigerate it. However, if you feel you will be stuck with leftovers, then place it in the fridge. it should hold for about 5 days.
