Ingredients You’ll Need

3 cups Apples, Sliced: Use your favorite variety, like Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness. Make sure they’re fresh for the best flavor.
1/2 cup White Sugar: This provides sweetness and helps caramelize the apples as they bake.
1/4 cup Brown Sugar: Adds a lovely depth of flavor and moisture to the apple filling.
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon: The spice that defines apple desserts! Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
1/4 cup Cold Butter, Cubed: Incorporate this cold butter into the apple mixture for a super juicy filling.
1 (17.5 oz) pouch Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix: This is the secret ingredient that makes your crisp’s topping both quick and delicious.
1/2 cup Butter, Melted: Combined with the cookie mix, this creates a crunchy, sweet topping that perfectly complements the apples.

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8×8 inch pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal later.
Prepare the Apples: Core, peel, and slice your apples into thin pieces. Place them in a large bowl and toss gently with 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon until well-coated.
Mix in Cold Butter: Cut 1/4 cup of cold butter into small pieces and toss them in with the apple mixture. This will keep the filling juicy and flavorful.
Layer the Apples: Pour the apple mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Prepare the Topping: In the same bowl, stir the entire pouch of Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix with 1/2 cup of melted butter until crumbly. This should give you a delightful mixture that you can sprinkle over the apples.
Bake: Spread the cookie mix topping evenly over the apple mixture, and bake in your preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your Apple Crisp fresh, store it at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need to keep it longer, pop it in the refrigerator, where it will last for about a week in an airtight container. For a longer shelf life, consider freezing it—wrapped well, it can remain frozen for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Just a reminder that the texture might change slightly, but you can revive some of its original charm with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of cream!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Always use fresh apples to ensure the best flavor and texture—aim for a mix of tart and sweet varieties if you’re feeling adventurous!
Resist the urge to skip the cold butter in the apple filling; keeping it cold helps maintain a luscious texture.
If you prefer a slightly firmer filling, feel free to reduce the sugar a bit.
For toppings, consider mixing in some chopped nuts for added crunch and depth.
If you’re making this ahead of time, you can prepare everything and store it in the fridge uncooked, then bake right before serving.

Apple Crisp with Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix is a delightful dessert that mixes simplicity, flavor, and a hint of nostalgia. Not only does it cater to both busy weeknights and special occasions, but it also invites a chance for creativity in your kitchen. Whether you choose to enhance it with a sprinkle of nuts or enjoy it exactly as it’s written, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite!
