Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake

Notes

Leftover apple crisp can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, consider freezing it for up to three months. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until warm.
