Apple Crisp in a Mason Jar -easy recipe and the perfect fall dessert made in mini mason jars. Serve warm with vanilla ice-cream.

This is such an easy, delicious fall dessert. This is the recipe my mom used when I was a little girl.
I’ve updated it a little by making Apple Crisp in a Mason Jar, because everything tastes better in a mason jar, right? Or, you can bake it in one big 8 x 8 baking dish.

When I was in grade two, I had to bake a snack for an after school girls club. Running short on time, I had to come home from school for lunch the day I needed it and quickly make it. My mom had carefully pre-measured all the ingredients out for me, and prepared all the apples already for me when I got there. All I had to do was mix together the pre-measured crisp ingredients and put it together.

That night after the club meeting, she asked me how the apple crisp turned out. I replied “it was so good Mom, way better than when you make it.” She’s reminded me of it just about every time we’ve had apple crisp since. What can I say Mom, I’ve always been a great cook. 😉
