Maple Apple Crisp
A simple and easy Maple Apple Crisp recipe sweetened with pure maple syrup. This old fashioned dessert has a buttery and crunchy, oatmeal topping with a scrumptious apple filling. A best ever recipe for Apple Crisp!
Maple Apple Crisp is a dessert my family loves and can’t get enough of! There is nothing that can compare to the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. A quick and easy to make apple dessert that uses simple ingredients you usually have on hand. Classic desserts like this one, Apple Cobbler and my Grandma’s Apple Pie are always a huge hit.
Key Ingredients
- Apples: I am lucky to have an apple tree in my yard that produces delicious apples that taste similar to a McIntosh. Other great varieties to use would be Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Gala or Pink Lady.
- Maple Syrup: rich in sweetness, pure maple syrup elevates the flavor of this classic dessert.
- Oats: use large flake or old fashioned oats, quick cooked oats will not give the crisp the same crunchy texture.
- Minute Tapioca: I find Minute tapioca is superior to flour to use as a thickener in fruit desserts.

This sounds amazing!
I’m craving apples now!
I made this recipe, (doubled), 2 weeks ago from home grown Granny Smith’s with some of our small Fujis, Galas and Honey Crisps thrown in. My husband and I both loved the maple syrup addition to it. (Without that, it was pretty much the same recipe I’d been making for thirty plus years.) Today the doubled recipe will be about half Granny Smith’s and half Flemish pears, plus a few Mission figs cut up and thrown in- – all from our trees. Hopefully it turns out as yummy as the last one! Thank-you for the recipe!
How wonderful Deborah to have fruit trees. Thank you for taking the time to rate my recipe!
