I cannot describe how wonderful this was. why hasn't anyone tried this recipe!!! I made one large crisp, and it was done in 1 hour 5 minutes. Try this you won't regret it. Thanks Mean Chef!

This is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Used Splenda in the apple mixture. Used regular brown sugar in the topping so it would "carmelize" properly. Served with vanilla ice cream and savored each delicious bite. Best Apple Crisp we've ever eaten. Thanks, Mean Chef.

This could not be simpler. What a wonderful topping. I dislike apple crisp with oats, this was outstanding. I had no trouble with the topping everything mixed easily and browned beautifully. I didn't change a thing but did add extra cinnamon. My son said its the best apple crisp he has ever had, he is forever ordering apple crisp in search of the perfect one! Thanks for sharing this recipe

The recipe was very easy to make and looked delicious. I must admit that I am not a baked apple person, but I thought the crisp was good especially the top. Other family members who regularly eat apple desserts thought it was good. Next time I will add at least 3 tablespoons of sugar to make it sweeter since I added a little more than 2 this time and it wasn't enough. Thanks for the recipe!

While this was good, it wasn't the best apple crisp I've eaten and not up to Mean Chef's usual high standards INHO! I made the large version, used 4 cups of Granny Smith , 2 cups of Empire apples, pecans in the topping & served warm with vanilla ice cream. I'd probably increase the amount of filling or decrease the amount of topping if I made this dish again. Thanx Mean Chef!

This was very good and easy. The only problem I had was the flour didn't brown or cook off, I had to mix it up so it didn't look so white. I topped it with cinnamon ice cream, very good dessert, wonderful for fall

This turned out very nicely! Very simple to put together with a nice "old fashioned" kind of taste (not too sweet!). I used pecans which were great. I made the large version and it took about an hour to finish. I served with ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

This is the best apple crisp I've had. I made it exactly as written. I loved the crisp topping, using pecans. It provided just enough crunch and sweetness for the apples. I'm keeping this one!

This was delicious! The granny smith apples are definately the right choice, they lend a tartness to the dish that goes so well with the topping. I served it warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. I will definately make this again. (Oh, these work beautifully in the freezer as well).

This was an excellent recipe! I made a couple of changes. Those were to double all the ingredients and make it a 9x13 pan(it took about 1.5 hours to bake), I also didn't peel my apples because we like the skins on them(oh, and I'm lazy!), and I used oatmeal instead of nuts for the topping. I also forgot all the filling ingredients except for the apples, and while I'll add them next time, it still turned out good without! Thanks for posting, MEAN CHEF!
