What Apples To Use For Apple Crisp

Apple crisp is an especially popular dessert in autumn, when apple season is at its peak.This recipe will work with just about any apple variety, so feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Although Granny Smith apples are generally thought of as the go-to baking apple, I personally prefer to use sweeter, less tart varieties such as Gala and Golden Delicious for the best flavor.

Tip: Be sure to check the apples for freshness, they should be nice and hard. If the apples are squishy, bruised, or discolored, you should discard them.

Can You Reheat Healthy Apple Crisp?

Absolutely! Warm apple crisp is the best. To reheat apple crisp, simply put a slice on a plate and place it in the microwave. Then, warm it up in 30-second increments, until it is nicely heated up to your liking.

Tip: Be careful when reheating it, as the sauce can get quite hot and may cause burns if you heat it up too much.
