Easy Apple Crisp Recipe Notes:Â
The best apple varieties for this recipe are Gala, Red Delicious, or Honeycrisp. Read here more about apple picking and the different varieties along with where to use them here!
You can replace the spices (cinnamon & nutmeg) with pumpkin spice or apple spice mix for an extra flavor kick in this apple crisp recipe.
Most apple crisp recipes call for the skin to be removed but since a lot of benefits lie in the apple skin; I generally keep them on. Plus, why do the extra work when it tastes the same, correct?
The use of chocolate bits is totally optional but I like a bit of melted dark chocolate on top of the crisp; it adds a nice taste.
