Hazelnut Apple Crisp

One of my favorite fall desserts is a fresh-from-the-oven Apple Crisp.

Hazelnut Apple Crisp 02 | Inspiration KitchenI love using Granny Smith apples for their great, crisp, tartness then balancing out the flavor with cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg.

I nearly always double the crisp part of the recipe that adorns the top, because I love how the crumble topping blends so beautifully with the tart of the Granny Smith!

This time, I added hazelnuts for a roasted, richer flavor that went beautifully with this Apple Crisp!  It looked and tasted so fall to me, I couldn’t resist digging in.  I didn’t even warm it and top it with vanilla ice cream – it was just that good!Hazelnut Apple Crisp | Inspiration Kitchen

As fall settles in, I no longer have apples on my trees, but until next year, I have fond memories of what is yet to come!  My mind is already buzzing with new apple recipes to try next fall!

Enjoy!

    I love how you added hazelnuts to the apple crisp that’s a neat twist to a classic.. I love apples although I am not a big fan of the granny smiths..

    Yum! My mom used to make apple crisp with cake mix. I thought the combination was revolutionary! Haha, this looks delightful!! There is nothing like the smell of a baking apple crisp in Autumn. Hmm… love it!

      I love crisp too! So, given that, I’m not sure we can be BFFs. Remember your cheesecake post? “If you don’t like cheesecake, we should totally be BFFs…!” Hahahaha! I don’t want you eatin’ all my crisp! LOL

    Doubling the crisp topping? I’m right there with ya! Mmmmmmm … and hazelnuts? Oh, that just sounds beyond-good! So sad your apples are already done for the season! You seriously might have to snag a few Granny Smiths at the grocery just to make this Crisp one more time!!!
