Ingredients You’ll Need

3 cups Apples, Sliced: Choose a mix of sweet and tart varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced flavor.
1/2 cup White Sugar: Sweetens the apples perfectly; adjust based on your apple varieties.
1/4 cup Brown Sugar: Adds depth and moisture to the topping.
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon: The classic spice that enhances the apple flavor; feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra kick!
1/4 cup Cold Butter, Cubed: Chilled butter ensures the topping remains crumbly for great texture.
1 (17.5 oz) pouch Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix: This mix simplifies the process and adds an irresistible buttery flavor.
1/2 cup Butter, Melted: Helps achieve that delightful crumble over the apples.

Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Grab an 8 x 8-inch pan, spray it with non-stick spray, and set it aside.
Prep the Apples: Core, peel, and slice your apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large bowl, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Toss them together until the apples are nicely coated.
Add Cold Butter: Cut 1/4 cup of cold butter into small cubes and toss them into the apple mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Transfer the Apples: Pour the apple mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
Make the Topping: In the same bowl, combine the pouch of Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix with 1/2 cup melted butter. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Spread the Topping: Evenly spread the crumbly topping over the apple mixture in the pan.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly around the edges.

Storing & Reheating

After enjoying your apple crisp, store any leftovers at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, transfer it to the refrigerator in an airtight container where it will keep for about a week. If you want to preserve it even more, freeze it in a sealed container for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. The texture may soften slightly, but a quick broil at the end can revive that delightful topping crunch!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overly mushy apples by using a mix of firm and slightly softer varieties for the best texture.
Make sure your butter is cold when mixing into the apple filling; this helps the topping stay crispy during baking.
You can prep the apple filling and topping ahead of time; just assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve.
Try adding a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the topping for extra flavor and texture!
If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping out some apples for pears or berries for a delicious variation.

There you have it—an easy dessert that brings warmth and joy to your table. The apple crisp with Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix isn’t just a dish, but a delightful reminder of home, comfort food, and the simple pleasures of life.

Recipe FAQs

Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! Simply look for a gluten-free oatmeal cookie mix to substitute for the regular Betty Crocker mix, and you’re all set for a gluten-free version!

How can I make this ahead of time?

You can prepare the apple filling and topping separately a day in advance. Then, store them in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble and bake for a fresh, warm dessert.

What should I serve with the apple crisp?

A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream complements the warm apple crisp perfectly. For a twist, try serving it with a dollop of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top!
