Looking for a delicious apple crisp recipe? This recipe’s secret ingredient might sitting in your pantry and you’ve totally overlooked it in baking.
During the fall, a delicious apple crisp recipe is a must have dessert. Whether you have gone to the local orchard, farmers market or just the grocery store, seasonal apples are bursting with flavor. Desserts made with the bright, crisp apples are incredibly satisfying.
Since apple crisp is a fairly easy recipe, everyone seems to have one. From the recipe passed down from grandma to one from your favorite cookbook, the options are many. But, what makes one recipe better than another?
For some people, the key to a delicious apple crisp is the granola style topping. Combining oats, sugar, spices and butter in perfect measure adds the sweetness and texture to this recipe. While the sugar caramelizes, the spices round out the sweetness. Warm and comforting, each bite is even more satisfying.
Many people are drawn to an apple crisp recipe because it is easier than a traditional apple pie. Pie crust can be finicky. Pie crusts need to be flakey, with a pinch of salt and a roundness from butter. When that combination of ingredients is off, the pie crust is dismal.

Additionally, pie crusts need to be baked well. Under-baked pie crust is a taste that sours your mouth. Over-baked pie crust is just as displeasing.
Since the topping of apple crisp is relatively simple, it is hard for even the novice baker to blunder this dessert. Still, this relatively easy dessert can benefit from a flavor boost. With a special secret ingredient, the classic apple crisp can be even more delicious.

Vodka can be used in two ways in this dessert. First, the apples can be infused with vodka. Previously, I shared an infused vodka apples recipe from Tito’s Handmade Vodka. This same recipe can be used in the apple crisp.
The infused apples add a depth of flavor to the dessert. While the apple is still predominate, the vodka rounds out all the flavors in the dessert. But, this dessert isn’t meant for the kids.
Also, the Tito’s Handmade Vodka can be used to make a maple syrup. The syrup can be used as a garnish for the dessert. Just think of this syrup drizzled on top of some whipped cream.
