Reviews
This was good. I ended up cooking it longer than recommended so my apples were a little mushy. If you are coming over coals, I would recommend that you blast the top with coals take it easy in the bottom.
Enjoy.
The directions for traditional Dutch oven cooking (outside) are vague and very inaccurate. The 20 minute prep time is laughable. My 17yo daughter and I took nearly an hour to prepare the ingredients. We cooked the stated 45 minutes and the apples were cooked but the topping was mush. And why should this recipe have 4.4 stars, anyway, when nearly every review includes a recommended change/improvement. No thanks. I RECOMMEND you look elsewhere for an easy Apple Crisp recipe.

I only used one cup of sugar in the topping, I skipped the lemon zest and used a little peanut butter it was AMAZING. I followed the cooking times in the comments. I will save this recipe and make it again very soon! I recommend 6 Granny Smith and 4 other apples for a nice balance of flavour. I also did cranberries instead of raisins and some cut up pieces of dried mango. YUMMY!!!!
Fabulous…just came out of the oven and the house smells fantastic…kids loved it and so did I…I used granny smith apples (all I had on hand) and added some extra sugar to offset the lemon. There was so much topping I had to smush it on with my fingers but it was worth it. I baked as other suggested for 30 minutes at 400 and then another 45 at 350. Great recipe…you will not be disappointed!
So issue with the recipe is the fact that if you are a novice cook, you may use the wrong apples. Ideally using a mixture of macintosh for sweetness/sauceiness and grannysmiths for texture and depth of flavor should give you the best result for applecrisp. Otherwise this is a good recipe
For an other-worldly topping – add 3/4 cup of finely chopped candied pecans to the topping mixture!
To assure a cooked, yet firm apple filling – use Golden Delicious apples cut into 1/2″ or larger segments and then add 2 tablespoons of tapioca.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 mins and then 350 for 50-55 minutes.
OUTSTANDING RESULTS

Apples cooked to mush, like apple sause. It was really disappointing. I had a big dinner party and it was like serving applesause with a topping. I cut the apples approximately 1/4″, and baked it at 400 degrees, for thirty minutes, as others had suggested. I would recommend cutting the apples at 1/2″ and baking it for 15 minutes at that temperature.
You are a genius ezldblue! I did as you did I used the base of the recipe, used cranberries, my family are not cooked raisin types and added walnuts for a different texture. Substituted 2 pears for 2 apples to add an extra sweetness; ran out of plain oats, instead I used the instant brown sugar oats in my pantry and only 1/2 of brown sugar. CAME OUT YUMMY! My family ate the whole pan! Thanks for the inspiration, I never change up recipes!
I used 12 cups Granny Smith Apples, substituted 1 cup of chopped fresh cranberries for the raisins but kept everything else exactly as called for. I used a 9″x13″ pan & ALL of the topping which, using my hands, I pressed onto the apples. I baked the crisp at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, reduced the heat to 350 degrees, cooked an additional 50 minutes. It was spectacular! When the crisp is heavily bubbling along the edges, it’s ready to remove from the oven. I also advise cutting the apples at least 1/4″ thick so the apples don’t collapse while baking. This is a true crisp that is not mushy & sloshing with liquid. It’s the best crisp we’ve ever tasted!
