Grandma's Easy Apple Crisp recipe is a traditional, old fashioned apple crisp without oats. The melt-in-your-mouth topping screams cinnamon and butter and will have your family begging for more. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Once the apples are cut into bite size chunks, sprinkle them with cinnamon and butter pieces. Next, slice 3 tablespoons of butter into small slices and randomly place the butter pieces on top of the apples. This will help soften and add additional flavor to the apples as they cook. Now it is time to make Grandma’s Apple Crisp topping.
Make low carb apple crisp topping. Pulse almonds, Besti Brown sweetener, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt in a food processor. TIP: Be careful not to over-mix! You want to have a coarse texture, with lots of small almond pieces, as shown below. Bake.
Arrange peeled, sliced apples in a baking dish. Combine water and ground cinnamon, and pour over apples in the baking dish. Work together butter, sugar and flour until crumbly.
