FAQs
Can I make apple crisp ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the apple and oat layers separately, refrigerate them, and bake just before serving.
Can I use instant oats instead of old-fashioned oats?
It’s best to use old-fashioned oats for a crispier topping. Instant oats may make the topping too soft.
How do I store leftover apple crisp?
Keep leftovers covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the topping crisp.
