Seems every family has their own favorite Apple Crisp recipe. We all make it like our Grandmas, Mothers, and even Great-Grandmas did. That’s always the best way, right? Even though we also like to change things up a bit, it’s nice to keep a simple, uncomplicated recipe for Apple Crisp handy. One of the greatest ways to change your Apple Crisp a little is to choose different types of apples. I usually prefer the really tart apples, but am not against using a nice sweet variety either. It’s all good, and that’s what matters.

I get my fair share of calls for potluck meals and like to have a couple frugal fruit recipes ready to throw together when I need to. The classic dishes always go over better than any of the other “new fangled” recipes, especially at a potluck. Potlucks are a chance to show off your favorite classics and compare them to others. It’s interesting when you line-up all the Apple Crisp dishes and see all the cooks busily watching and hoping that their’s gets devoured first. Woe to the dish that is left untouched. Competition can be quite keen at a potluck!
