Honey apple crisp in a skillet with vanilla ice cream on top.

Honey Apple Crisp

Megan Weimer
This honey apple crisp tastes like Fall in a bowl! It has a juicy and sweet apple filling and a crunchy, buttery oat crumble on top. Both the filling and topping are made with honey and have no refined sugars!

  • Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and an extra drizzle of honey. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure the apple slices are uniform so they bake evenly.
If the topping is browning too quickly in the oven, cover with aluminum foil.
Storage: Store covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven at 350°F/180°C for 20-30 minutes to make it feel freshly baked again.
Freezing: Let the apple crisp cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven.
