apple crisp

Oat-topped fruit bake

Apple crisp is a baked dessert consisting of sliced apples topped with a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, sugar, and often oats, then baked until the fruit is soft and the topping is golden and crunchy.

It differs from apple crumble mainly in American versus British naming conventions, though some distinguish crisp by its oat content.

We made apple crisp with fruit from the orchard.

It's a homey autumn dessert, often served warm with vanilla ice cream.
