Ingredients You’ll Need

3 cups Apples, Sliced: Use your favorite variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a great balance of sweet and tart.
1/2 cup White Sugar: This helps to sweat the apples and enhance their natural sweetness.
1/4 cup Brown Sugar: Adds depth and richness with its caramel undertones, perfect for desserts.
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon: This warm, aromatic spice elevates the entire dish; it’s a must!
1/4 cup Cold Butter, Cubed: Keeping the butter cold ensures a flaky topping; don’t skip this step!
1 (17.5 oz) pouch Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix: This is the star of the recipe – layer it on top for a deliciously easy crisp.
1/2 cup Butter, Melted: This brings the oatmeal cookie mix together to create that crumbly topping we love.

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). While it’s heating, spray an 8 x 8-inch pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal later.
Prepare the Apples: Core, peel, and slice the apples into even pieces. Place them in a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon until evenly coated.
Incorporate Cold Butter: Cut 1/4 cup of cold butter into small pieces and toss it into the apple mixture. This adds a lovely richness to the apples as they bake.
Arrange the Apples: Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
Mix the Topping: In the same bowl, stir the pouch of Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix with 1/2 cup of melted butter until crumbly. Spread this mixture evenly over the apples to form a delicious topping.
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the apples are bubbling. The aroma will be incredible!

Storing & Reheating

To store any leftovers, allow the apple crisp to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. You can keep it at room temperature for about 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. If you want to save some for later, freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds or warm it up in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Just be mindful that the texture might change slightly after freezing, so serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to refresh the flavors.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

To prevent the apples from becoming too mushy, choose firmer apple varieties like Granny Smith or Fuji.
If you prefer a less sweet apple crisp, reduce the amount of white sugar or brown sugar according to your taste.
For an extra flavor dimension, try adding a splash of vanilla extract into the apple mixture.
Make sure to evenly distribute the topping to ensure all parts cook uniformly.
Consider adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor in the topping.

Baking this delicious apple crisp with Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix is not just a straightforward method; it’s a chance to make memories. The simplicity and delightful aroma fill your kitchen with warmth, making it a dish that friends and family will request time and again. Don’t hesitate to try different variations, such as adding cranberries or other seasonal fruits. Enjoy every crispy bite of this fall-inspired dessert!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen apples instead of fresh ones?

Absolutely! If you’re using frozen apples, make sure to thaw and drain them beforehand. This will prevent excess moisture from making your apple crisp soggy.

What if I don’t have Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix?

You can make your own topping with rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter, and spices. Just mix about 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup brown sugar with 1/2 cup cold butter until they form a crumbly texture.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the apple mix and crumble topping separately a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator and assemble the crisp just before baking for the best texture.

How should I serve apple crisp?

Apple crisp is fantastic served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It also pairs well with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an even sweeter treat. Enjoy it any time – dessert or snack!
