The Most Delicious 20 Minute Prep Apple Crisp

There is nothing I love more than a yummy, warm dessert on these cold wintery nights. The scent of cinnamon and warm apples is almost as tantalizing as the sweet treat melting across your taste buds. This apple crisp is easy to make, it’s delicious, it’s packed with fiber and has 100% of your day’s whole grains! When was the last time your dessert had all that?!

20 MINUTE PREP APPLE CRISP

Apple Crisp is one of our family traditions. That’s my favorite thing about the last half of the year: all the traditions. Because, to me, THAT is what is important in life. The traditions, the memories, the friends and family. And good food.

 

20 MINUTE PREP APPLE CRISP

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it is so very simple to make, which is just what I need as things get busy around this time of year, and it only gets crazier until the end of the year.

My second favorite thing is that you can make it ahead of time. Just put it in the freezer and save it until you need it. Take it out, let it thaw, add the Grape Nuts topping and then bake. So easy! And you’ll be lucky if there are leftovers.

Let’s get bakin’!

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
