Tender apples topped with buttery brown sugar streusel work together perfectly when making an apple crisp without oats! Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the entire family was scraping their bowls clean and asking if there was any more of the crisp.

Apple Crisp without Oats

Inspired by an abundance of apples and a craving for a warm apple crisp on a day when we had run out of oatmeal, (how does that even happen?!) I decided that an apple crisp without oats needed to be a thing.

After all, we make crumbles and streusel for coffee cakes and muffins using just a bit of flour, sugar, and butter, right? Why couldn’t that same logic apply to an apple crisp? I’m happy to tell you that it does work and it works deliciously!
