Easy Bourbon Pecan Apple Crisp Recipe | Fall Dessert
Warm, cinnamon-spiced apples, a buttery crisp topping, and plenty of Daveyboy’s Bourbon Pecan Crumbles make this an irresistible fall dessert. It’s easy enough for a weeknight but special enough for Thanksgiving, holiday gatherings, or a cozy weekend at home.
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling
6 medium apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your favorite baking apple
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
For the Bourbon Pecan Crumble Topping
½ cup old-fashioned oats (optional, but adds a delicious texture)
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
½ cup Daveyboy’s Bourbon Pecan Crumbles
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Prepare the apples. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even slices. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
Season the apple filling. Add the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Transfer to a baking dish. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and pour the apple mixture evenly into the dish. Dot the top with the tablespoon of butter.
Make the crumble topping. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour and oats until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Add the bourbon pecan flavor. Stir in ½ cup of Daveyboy’s Bourbon Pecan Crumbles until evenly combined.
Top the apples. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples, making sure to cover the surface.
Bake. Place in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown.
Cool slightly and serve. Let the apple crisp rest for about 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate fall dessert.
🍂 Daveyboy’s Tip
For an extra-special finishing touch, sprinkle a little more Daveyboy’s Bourbon Pecan Crumbles over each serving just before serving. The sweet bourbon flavor and crunchy pecans pair beautifully with warm apples and cinnamon.
You can also use this same topping on pears, peaches, baked sweet potatoes, oatmeal, pancakes, or yogurt.
