VERY Easy Apple Crisp | With Lower Sugar and Gluten Free Options!

Hi y'all! Welcome back to Marie's Kitchen! I'm so glad you're here 😊
This recipe is so wonderfully flexible. I've designed it so you can adjust the sugar, change up the flour (gluten free, all purpose, or wheat), and decide how much crisp topping to use (with instructions for freezing the extra). So make this recipe exactly how YOU like it, and enjoy a big warm scoop of apple crisp as a dessert, an afternoon snack, or even as breakfast on a cold morning. 🍏
Plus, this recipe works just as well with other fruits! After the apple crisp, I demonstrate the same technique with peaches, frozen blueberries, pear, and even sweet potato!
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions -- I'm always happy to help! ❤️, Marie

I love the little pies idea because my husband and I are empty-nesters and I also have a little pie plates. They are ceramic I got them at the dollar tree. I also wanted to note another really good thing to do with the sweet potatoes and my children, love this, red orange rind, and some orange juice in the sweet potatoes with a little bit of cinnamon it is to die for and as for sweetness, we use Monk fruit. Monk fruit or Stevia only and I really put it into my bacon and the kids had no idea that this holiday was sugar-free.😂😂😂LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Janet! Thanks for watching 🥰 I love the monk fruit suggestion - I have some monk fruit maple syrup that I’ve been wanting to use … bet it would also be delicious with sweet potatoes! Hugs, Marie

[@janetmarieleo7522]

When all of our kids and grandkids come over, I love to throw a nice blueberry buckle or a nice crisp together with some homemade ice cream. Our grandkids love to make whipped cream with their pop pop❤

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Janet! That all sounds wonderful 🥰 Homemade crisp and homemade ice cream - wow! They will remember that forever. Thanks for watching. Hugs, Marie

A very elegant presentation of a simple fruit dish. Looks delicious, and being single and older I appreciate the smaller dishes - definitely going to try the sweet potato.

[@jgraef919]

The sweet potato crisp is a wonderful change-up. That will be my first one to try. I like the idea of making separate fruit dishes for taste preference. Brilliant idea for a one or two people family.💖

[@marieskitchen]

Thanks for watching! So glad you like the sweet potato version! I LOVED it. I tried it again with egg and more ingredients and I didn’t like it as much. Simple is sometimes best. I’ll try to get a recipe worked up soon! ❤️, Marie

That "Cocoa Puff" is soooo precious!! 🐶❤️ Thanks Marie for bringing in more recipes where one can control the amount of sugar & gluten-free flour (which is much healthier). 😁👍❤️ LOVE your fruit variations, Marie!😁👍❤️ The small baking dishes are just the right size for hubby & me.😁👍Thanks for sharing the link, Dear Soul.😁🙏👍

Cocoa Puff is my little side kick! She is such a patient sweet doggie ❤️ She knows when I set up the cameras to film that she won’t be getting any attention poor thing 🥲 Try to give her a little love while things are baking! I’m excited for you to try the crisp! Keep me posted ❤️ Hugs, Marie

Good morning everyone Mrs. Marie you are one my favorite Chefs on U Tube thank you for sharing your delicious recipes with the public. I want to know if you can show me how to make a German Chocolate Cake? also I notice in one of your videos you used water in your egg wash & the other apple hand pie video you used half & half milk 🥛which is better to use water or milk in egg wash? and can I use puff pastry instead of store brought crust? Keep up the phenomenal 👏 work. May God continue to bless your hands have a bless day 🙏 Today is Wednesday November 1, 2023 at 7:25am

Hi, I was watching one of your earlier videos, and at the end, (making biscuits), you asked for ideas. My idea is, White Creme filled long johns. My husband loves them, but can hardly find them around my home town anymore. It would be great if you could do one of these. BTW, I did your pie crust the way you showed, and it turned out amazing!! I always write down recipes and then try them out. If they are a keeper, then they go in my recipe cookbook. Yours is in there. Again, thank you.

[@casycasy5199]

it looks amazing.we would love to know how the sweet potato one came out.and the blueberry one it didn't come out watery being frozen

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching! I loved the sweet potato one! Ate it all myself ☺️ And the blueberry one was phenomenal - I made a full 8x8 version for my husband to take on a boys trip and it got rave reviews! There was one spoonful left in the pan when they got back - so sweet of them to save me a taste 😅 It was juicier than the apple version but not watery at all. I think I have some video of it that I can make into a short so you can see it up close, sorry for not including it in the first place 🤪 Bug hugs, Marie

Maria, can you use frozen peaches, instead of fresh

[@auntcarol1]

How much arrowroot would you use in place of corn starch?

[@wheremagicbeginsnow]

Thanks for having all measurements in grams and celcius… I use “Elstar” apples, which is a good pie Apple in here the Netherlands. Question about preparation of apples or any fruit. I noticed that or at least appeared that you immediately placed apples in dish and covered with chilled crisp. But when I prepare apples and let them stand for just a few minutes, the juice gathers and I always question whether to all the juice or not. In making a pie I have to leave it out otherwise we have a soggy bottom, but I’m assuming that with a no bottom crust this shouldn’t be an issue. For most recipes here they always use breadcrumbs on the bottom, as cornstarch isn’t used much.

[@user-id7uv4jp8w]

Do you have to use the almond meal?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Thanks for watching. 🥰 No, you do not have to use almond meal. I would use 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup additional oats in its place. Hope that helps, Marie

[@lachelaw6979]

Oats have gluten. I'm wondering what else I can use for the topping?

[@rattlesnakebbq]

QUESTION: I'm getting ready to make your apple pie recipe...you said it was OK to freeze and bake later...you also said that it's good to put a frozen pie into a 400 degree oven...won't the temperature difference crack your ceramic pie pan?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Robert! Thanks for watching! Great question. The basic idea is that a cold crust holds its shape better than a warm one. I do recommend freezing pie crust before you add the filling. You can also freeze the entire apple pie. Before baking, you should leave the crust on the counter for 5-10 minutes, or whole pie on the counter for 15-20 minutes or so while the oven preheats. Then put the pie plate on a parchment lined baking sheet and put that in the oven. Using this method, I have never had a problem with a Pyrex pie plate, but I do understand your concern. You are welcome to let it thaw a bit more before baking, but definitely do not let it thaw completely as it will become very soggy. Let me know if you need anything else 😊 My best, Marie

[@LorettaWoods-rr7qy]

Is Almond Meal the same as Ground Almonds?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Loretta, yes, the same thing. Let me know if you need anything else ❤️, Marie

[@RuthStash]

If you can't have the almond meal can you just replace with more flour or oats?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Ruth! Yes exactly 👍🏻 More oats will give more texture, flour won’t. So you just pick whichever you like or use half of both. Thanks for watching ❤️, Marie

[@dchambers9548]

[@joanchrzanowski650]

My granddaughter has a nut allergy. What can I substitute for the almond meal?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Thanks for asking! I should have made that more clear in the video! Just use an additional 1/2 cup rolled oats. Flour, oats, butter, sugar and salt are traditional crisp ingredients so will still be completely delicious. Add the vanilla and maybe some cinnamon for some extra depth of flavor ❤️, Marie

[@user-my3eu2hu1e]

How can anyone not be a fan of vanilla!? Just make sure it is REAL vanilla extract!

Can crumble be added to pumpkin pie?

[@marieskitchen]

Oh yum! That sounds so good! I think you would have to toast the crumble separately and then add it once the pumpkin filling is cooked? The filling is so soft otherwise … I have to think about how it would work 🤔 But yes sounds delicious! Hugs, Marie

My apples never seem to get done. What to do?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Krista! Thanks for watching and great question! With apple crisp, I usually just slices the apples fairly thin (1/4”) and in a fairly thin layer like demonstrated here, they cook up just fine. But, for my apple pie, where there are layers and layers of apples in a big pie dish, I like to pre-cook the apple filling. This ensures the apples are done the same time as the crust. The apple pie demo is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnrOaZ6bmtqafqMsi=UA68LpAhpRCwPCiu Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy to help ❤️, Marie
