The first recipe for apple crisp appeared in Isabel Ely Lord’s 1924 cookbook, Everybody’s Cook Book: A Comprehensive Manual of Home Cookery. Similar to apple cobblers, apple crisps are baked in deep dishes. They have crispy, crunchy toppings as the name suggests. Tart apples are used as they contrast nicely with the sweet topping. Spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice add a zesty flavor to apple dishes. Served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, apple crisps are favorites for desserts and snacks in the fall.
