This “grate” apple crisp eliminates the time consuming prep of peeling, coring, and slicing apples. Besides using less effort, we get a texture and flavor closer to an apple jam, which makes for a uniquely delicious crisp. And yes, you’ll definitely want a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!

You can 1up this recipe by subbing Chef John's apple butter for all the sugar.
This recipe is Nuts! Grape, I mean grate idea Chef John!
I’d be more interested in his recipes if he wasn’t such an insufferable as*hole on X.
One more for deer camp !
I would much rather slice than grate
I am making this tomorrow!
Apple butter is the BEST thing to top a really good piece of buttered sourdough toast!
Thought this looked pretty good so I went to add Grape Nuts to my grocery order. Not available in local stores (South Western Ontario, Canada) and the best price I found online was over $40 with delivery. I feel a substitution coming on.
I usually use skin on apples. It's fast and skin can be crispy and colorful it's fine. I slice the apples and put them in honey and ginger.
Any substitute for grape nuts?
you know it’s going to be a good recipe when Chef John breaks out his grape nuts.
This man taught me how to make buttermilk biscuits, as a British citizen. Just wanted to let you know that your recipes are international and help hopeless “chefs” like myself 🙂
Grape nuts. Aka gravel 😆😖
That looks like a really poor excuse for an apple crumble
😂 this is a good one
It wasn't a valid excuse to begin with! Most people could really stand some practice on their knife skills like you said. And something with this much fruit would be a terrific way to "hone" your "pear"-ing knife abilities!😊
Although I'm sure that this recipe tastes good, I must recommend Chef Johns original Apple Crisp recipe from many years ago. That original recipe is the reason that I started subscribing to Food Wishes, as it is the BEST Apple crisp recipe on the internet!
A pinch of cayenne would be delicious in this! 😉
If you don’t have apples then potatoes work just fine, I usually substitute butter with Vaseline and it comes out great. My mother used to make this every Christmas.
You have a very nice voice
Chef John… Making America Grate Again
Could you link that lemon press?
Great video. Thank you.
I piled mine up on one side and it came out great!
Sometimes my mom would add a few cinnamon red-hot candies in the tipping. Loved it as a kid. I asked for Apple crips instead of birthday cake.
Grape nuts alternative for those of us in Australia ❤
I don't know, man. I'm afraid it might feel abc.
This seems like a GRATE way to make a single apple, apple crisp.
I need to try this. Thanks for the video
This video seems to be purpose-made for a grate-ly dangerous drinking game… 🤔
Hi Chef John,
I've never seen "Grape Nuts" since I don't live in the USA.
Is there any cereal I can substitute for it?
What ingredient (that you can find in Europe) could I substitute for Grape Nuts?
Thank you!
Hard pass on the Grape Nuts. I prefer my teeth unshattered.
A recipe I was hoping to find but did not expect to find it exactly on time! I'm 'grate'ful for your recipes 😊
I always thought that grapenuts were roasted grape seeds. Hmm. 🤔
God love you, chef John. You add humor to your wonderful recipes. I so enjoy watching your videos. Then making the recipes, of course 🤗.
Easy fix. Bake the apples by themselves. Make your granola-like topping. Assemble and serve. Abracadabra. Cooler apple. Still crispy topping. Tadaa.
Sorry, but I loathe grating. I think I will use a mandoline for thin slices, stack them and mince. Or throw the apples in a food chopper (look like a food processor but small and only chop). Everything looks good but no grape nuts for me, just more oats.
I wanna make this, but "Grape Nut cereal" an an US product which is not available in germany. Any product ideas for a replacement to get a similar result? Help 🙂
You ever notice chef John absolutely cannot stir? He fiddles and pokes…
This looks like an American version of apple crumble with flapjack topping.
