This classic dessert is super easy to make because it uses canned pie filling. Adam's Apple Crisp is a winner and always disappears quickly.
*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2013. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
I've been making this delicious Apple Crisp recipe for years and years.
It's one of my son Adam's absolute favorites, and it really could not be any easier to make and is perfect for entertaining a crowd.
This time when I made it, I decided to cook it on the outdoor grill in order to keep the heat out of the house.
It worked beautifully and still only took about an hour to bake, just as if it was baked in the kitchen oven. Love that!
If you choose to bake yours this way too, just add a brick to the grill grate and make sure you place the apple crisp on top of the brick (thus turning your grill into more of an outdoor oven). This keeps the casserole dish away from the direct flame which can result in a dangerous breakage of the dish. Not good.
ADAM'S APPLE CRISP {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
Serves 10-12
3 cans of apple pie filling
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sliced almonds
1 stick of butter, cut into chunks
1 teaspoon vanilla
-Preheat your kitchen oven or outdoor grill to 350 degrees.
-Grease a 13x9 casserole dish.
-Place the 3 cans of pie filling into the dish and spread them evenly to cover the bottom.
-Add the Granny Smith apple slices evenly over the pie filling.
-In a large bowl, add the flour, sugars, oats, salt, baking powder, and almonds. Stir to combine.
-Add the butter pieces into the bowl and using your fingertips, pinch and work the butter through the flour and sugar mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
-Add in the vanilla extract and, still using your hands, work the vanilla through the mixture until just combined (the mixture will still be crumbly).
-Pour the crumb topping evenly over the apples in the dish, covering the apples completely.
-Bake for 1 hour or until the topping has turned a light golden brown and the apples are starting to bubble up around the edges.
-Cool completely or serve warm (after cooling at least 45 minutes) with a nice scoop (or two) of ice cream!
This is completely yummy and feeds a crowd (or will make delicious leftovers for days and days). LOL!

Sweet that you named this after your son. I like that you add almonds to yours and that you cooked it on the grill!

Love all fruit crisps! Had to come see if you were doing a play on words with Adam's apple or if it was someone you know named Adam. 😉
What a fun idea to make it on the grill!

Thanks Katrina! Since it's always been a favorite of my son's, thought I might as well name it after him too 🙂
