Grandma’s Apple Crisp Recipe

My grandmother used to make this all the time while I was growing up. All these years later, I still love eating the crispy sweet topping. My grandmother always had Gala apples around the house, which are great for baking, so this was the apple of choice for her famous apple crisp recipe. Whenever she had too many apples and didn’t want them to go to waste, it was a good excuse to make a delicious apple crisp. It’s such an easy and fast dish to make for a brunch or dessert. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream.
