Easiest apple crisp recipe ever
#21
We have a similar recipe the kids always made. sliced fresh TART apples. in bottom of a rectangular baking dish. cover with one box of white or yellow cake mix. (not made up just dry cake mix) top with one cube of melted butter drizzled all over the top. bake 30 minutes at 350. its a good sweet cobbler like dish that is wonderful topped with ice cream. I suggest the tarter the apple you use the better. a sweet apple combined with the cake mix is way way too sweet!

Does it come out like a real apple crisp (crumbly streusel topping) or is it more cake like?
I love apple crisp, one of my favorite fall things. I don't have a recipe, I just wing it. Made a small pan the other day and DH and I ate it all.

Here in the midwest, we get butter in 4 inch long sticks. The measurements are marked on the paper so that you can cut off about half an inch to get one Tablespoon of butter. That works really slick and is so easy to measure, especially when you need three or five tablespoons.

mine comes out pretty much like a regular apple crisp. and a cube of butter is the same in the west one quarter pound of butter. but think its a rectangular baking dish its is not really that much per serving. I bet you could add cheddar cheese to it which would be a great addition. going ot try that next. making one tonight so good time to find out if it works. shredded I assume.

Roberta, Thanks for the recipe. I made this last week. I used Northern Spy apples. Believe next time I make it, I will add a full tsp. of cinnamon to the sugar and flour mixture, rather than just sprinkle it on top.

My youngest daughter loves apple crisp but wants it baked in a pie crust - yes I know that makes it apple pie, but since she was very little, I would make apple crisp (because without the crust there are a few less calories). Then she took a cooking class in Jr. High School and thought it would be good in a crust. So from that point on we make it her way.
I have been trying to get my husband to understand a natural substance like butter is so much better than the chemically manufactured products. But he looks at calories and thinks I am nuts. As long as Weight Watchers and his doctor keep pushing the food with chemicals I decided I am wasting my breath.
