"You're gonna definitely wanna let this cool a little bit. I mean, that's really between you and the first two or three layers of skin on the roof of your mouth."
I made this according to the recipe, except: 1) I added a bit of salt to the topping mix, and 2) added nutmeg to the topping mix. The result was outstanding. Next time I make this, I’ll amp up the cinnamon. This is a real winner.
Don't have access to grape nuts so I just doubled the oats instead , and it was still delicious and crispy. This was the best recipe I've tried yet for apple crisp. Thank you, Chef John!
I had grape nuts a few days ago for the first time and it made me think of this recipe. They were served for breakfast on top of natural greek yoghurt with honey and sliced bananas. I dont know where the restaurant got them from because we're in the UK but it was delicious. I can see why they would be great in an apple crisp.
This turned out amazing. I made 2 batches, one made this way (Except for the store didn't have grape nuts, so I substituted granola and chopped pecans) and a batch of peach crisp made with the raw fruit/cold butter method. This allowed for empirical testing. The pre-cooking of the apples in the sauce is genius, it makes the consistency perfect. I added too much water, and it didn't matter, it just made it necessary to cook the apples and sauce a bit longer. Chef John never disappoints!
I loved the...voice over was it? Idk but you sounded really cheery and casual, it made the video so enjoyable to watch. I am going to try this for fall!
Several days of snow coming our way and I thought, oh well, it's time to make apple crisp. You did not warn me to not test the topping, because if you do, one might eat more of it than you should because its sooooo good. Grape Nuts, I'm glad I live in America where we grow grape nuts. I tried to see how much a box of grape nuts cost 10 years ago. I never got my answer but I did see that there was a grape nut shortage back in 2021.
@hatesit1 you need to be careful of heat when working with sugar. too much will turn it hard or go past caramelizing. lower heat next time and go for it again.
Dear Chef John, Could you try doing some recipes that use less butter and sugar? I know it's hard to believe that there are desserts without or less butter and sugar.. But Chef John I know you are talented enough to do this! I think many people here would like to enjoy your tasty and beautiful food but also eat them healthily at the same time.. So please let me (us) know if you are going to take this challenge:-) Always watching your latest videos:), love from HK.
I want to make something different for Thanksgiving dessert this year (as much as I love pumpkin pie, it gets a little boring year after year). I stumbled across this recipe and it sounds amazing :D I can't wait to try it out! Thanks for a great idea, Chef John.
"We see you girls looking at our junk, checking out our rumps then back to our sugar lumps... All the ladies they want a taste of my sugalumps, my sugalumps yeahhhhhh." Lol. First thing I thought of when I heard Chef John say sugar lumps. Gotta love Flight of the Conchords. And of course Chef John too.
I tried to make it and as soon as I put the apples in and tried to stir it, my entire caramel mixture turned hard and completely solidified and turned into accidental apply candy. :(
Grape-Nuts aren't actually a nut; it's just whole grains and barley flour! They were called that originally because of their resemblance to grape seeds (according to Wikipedia).
Sir.....you had me at the use of 'Grape-Nuts' (THAT cereal--- along with the GOD created cockroach....will survive a nuclear attack) and the money line...... "ummmmmmm.....accidental apppple caaannnddyyyy...." ------I been researching for almost a week for an Apple Crisp recipe. All had the same boring look and process. I'm always lookin for that unique 'application and creativity' that I can add to and make it mine. I thought you were going to say the secret was 'granola' but then you shocked me with Grape-Nuts. I used to eat that not because it was necessarily errrr tasty.....but because that stuff neeeeevvvvver gets soggy. Bingo, Eureka...! Whatever you call it...this is it. Your controlled humor just pushed it off the curb. Thanks guy!!
Firelord Kushroll. l'm not a cereal person either. My husband used to eat Grapenuts. l tried them...no thanks. I'll stick with bacon and eggs. But when l saw your comment l just had to set you straight.
Hello Chef John We love yourfood recipes, tried substituting granola for grape nuts and it turned out great, extremely crunchy though, l think l would grind the granola up a bit in the food processor though,for next time. A bit toothy. But probably the best I have made so far.
Hi Chef John! I'm from Portugal so I couldn't find the grape nuts and I didn't wanted to use just the oatmeal so I decided to go for GRANOLA ! I was a little reluctant but surprisingly it came out great :D Also I had never ate granola or any type of recipe similar to this one, but I've got to say that this is my favorite dessert right now!, although caloric but who really cares ? So delicious! Thank you so much :)
I love apple crisp but don't care for oats based toppings. I'll try making this using Chef John's Ultimate Berry Crumble topping instead. I'll likely have to adjust cook/bake times to ensure the topping is done without the apples being reduced to apple sauce.
Love the sound of your voice and the efficiency of your teaching! Tried this recipe and although I was skeptical about the grape nuts, it was indeed the secret to crispy/crunchy! Thanks for sharing this recipe. By the way... GREAT video quality!
Thank you for this recipe! I am in love with apple crisp and tried to make it one year several times, but it never turned out crispy--it makes sense that I needed to cook the apples first and get rid of some of their excess water. No recipe I found said to do that. I will try this! Thanks!
Never heard of apple crisp before. This is a lot like 'crumble' which we have in the UK. It came from the days of rationing, I believe, and the lack of an egg to make the crust for a fruit pie. The filling is often cooking apple or rhubarb or something and is served with custard. The fruit is just cooked with sugar. I usually add granola to my crumble but having seen this, I'll probably make apple crisp instead. Looks a lot better.
I put in Lemon juice instead of melted butter because they looked similar and I had a long day.. is there anything I can do to save this? Thanks Chef John!
This look so yummy. Not sure if I would use the grape nuts myself, but it still looks tasty! I would love it if you would do an empanada filling recipe, I usually Find the dough at my local supermarket but I would love to see what you would d with the filling!
For the topping: 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup oatmeal (rolled oats) 1/2 cup Grape Nuts 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup white sugar For the filling: 5-6 apples juice of 1/2 lemon 2 tbsp butter 1/3 cup white sugar 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1 tbsp water 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Mmmmmmmmm DOGGY! I *finally* got around to trying out this one - it's been on my short-list forever and ever. I made the whole thing in a 4.5 qt dutch oven - no pan to clean up later. With it with some added blueberries, about 2 Tbls of very finely minced ginger (yes that's a lot) and crushed up sprouted wheat and cornflake cereal (closest I had) instead of grapenuts. KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! By the way, for recipes like this where we're combining white and brown sugar in the same stage, I love just using white (or raw) sugar and adding a Tbls or two (I usually go a little heavy cuz I love it) of molasses. :D
I don't know what I did wrong, but the topping was burnt at about 15 minutes in a 375degree oven. Also, the topping was much more wet (kind of like cookie dough) than crumbly. It still tasted great though!
thank you for taking the time to share your great recipes with us! I will definitely be trying this out very soon ... apple crisp is the best dessert in my humble opinion :) Thank you chef john
Will try this once the apples are on our trees. I bought an apple at the grocery store last week and it cost $3.50!!!! No way I'm buy enough apples to make this.
That casserole dish has gotten a LOT of use over the years.😀 Made this today and it is so good. Added a pinch of salt +more spices with a little less sugar. didn't have any Lemon so used a little Apple Cider Vinegar. Might try and soften the grape nuts a little the next time as they are really really crunchy.
YES! I thought I was the only person who adds Grapenuts to her fruit crisp topping. I have to try your trick with the apples too (nothing is worse in a beautiful apple crisp than uncooked apples). Thanks Chef John, and as always, we enjoy!

And like HOT pizza, it STICKS there long enough!!
This was the best apple crisp recipe on UA-cam hands down , and I been on here all day watching them lol
I made this according to the recipe, except: 1) I added a bit of salt to the topping mix, and 2) added nutmeg to the topping mix. The result was outstanding. Next time I make this, I’ll amp up the cinnamon. This is a real winner.
I’ll do you one more, I add 2 tablespoons of wheat germ for extra richness
Sounds like Chef John channeled his inner Homer Simpson with apple candy piece he grabbed.
lol "Mmm, accidental apple candy."
Sounds like something Homer would say.
Indeed...Mmmmmm
Sounded like Homer Simpson
Don't have access to grape nuts so I just doubled the oats instead , and it was still delicious and crispy. This was the best recipe I've tried yet for apple crisp. Thank you, Chef John!

Nice to know that.. coz i was also wondering to use Granola as i couldnt find grape nuts at store
Yeah. Grape Nuts is a non-starter for me. Finely chopped nuts is a good call.
*_Accidental Apple Candy_* was my college band name!
Ya know... I don't really like cooked apples. Apple pie, ect. but Apple Crisp is actually pretty good. And this looks real tasty.
@luvligal06 Everything is easy. Only people are hard.
Don't know what I'd do without you chef . Had some free apples and decided to give it a try... It turned out great....😀
Honestly thank you so much. Made at x giving here in Canada and was a knockout hit! Big follower of the channel. Thanks for everything you do/post
just made this with apples and also plums we grew in the garden! thanks chef john!
I loved the...voice over was it? Idk but you sounded really cheery and casual, it made the video so enjoyable to watch. I am going to try this for fall!

Just made this!!! MAN!!! It was sooooooo good. Gotta try it people.....:)
When Chef John says "Accidental Apple Candy" he sounds like a refined Homer Simpson haha.
@humannaturedj My pleasure.
I've made this oh jeeez...maybe 6 times... comes out FABULOUS.... I LOVE YOU CHEF JOHN :-) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Dawn
I FREAKING LOVE GRAVEL! Best breakfast cereal ever. Why didn't i think of using it in my crisps?....Thank you chef. Thank you.
Looks scrumptious!
This is just what I was thinking about! Thank you!
Tried this recipe yesterday (we do have grape nuts in the UK) it was first class! Thank you Chef John.
i added walnuts to the crisp and it came out beyond amazing!!!!!!!!!
+marthacvd That seems like a better idea than grape nuts.
best ever I have made this several times now, just wish peeling apples didin't take so long wonderful though
Grape Nuts is English for tiny rocks.
Tempted to try this one! Delish.
@hatesit1 you need to be careful of heat when working with sugar. too much will turn it hard or go past caramelizing. lower heat next time and go for it again.
Chef John, it doesn’t matter how many times you say it, but i always take a bite immediately after it is done :)

Lawren Haggerty Just tried this recipe now also and the same thing happened to me :(
that's funny because mine was too watery, it didn't get hard at all, I wonder if its the apples with too much liquid?
Love u chef john!

trying this tonight!
I actually googled "hairy Jim" thinking it was a real apple lol. There are so many odd or ridiculous apple names already, you had me going!
I wish your secret ingredient was available internationally. Impossible to buy in Oz.
Мучитель Накачался. amazon
i am using cashews in mine. i am just crushing them up a little bit beforehand of course. I too can not get the grape nuts that he is using.
Firelord Kushroll. Grapenuts is a cereal. they are not actual nuts. it's a breakfast cereal. and they are very hard.
Firelord Kushroll. l'm not a cereal person either. My husband used to eat Grapenuts. l tried them...no thanks. I'll stick with bacon and eggs. But when l saw your comment l just had to set you straight.
Firelord Kushroll ☺
all right here in germany it's time to go in bed... wait there's a new video from foodwishes.... well i think bed can wait....
Hello Chef John
We love yourfood recipes, tried substituting granola for grape nuts and it turned out great, extremely crunchy though, l think l would grind the granola up a bit in the food processor though,for next time. A bit toothy. But probably the best I have made so far.
this was a great idea
You can use Granola if you can't find Grapenuts its works really well also.
Awesome video as usual.
Hi Chef John! I'm from Portugal so I couldn't find the grape nuts and I didn't wanted to use just the oatmeal so I decided to go for GRANOLA ! I was a little reluctant but surprisingly it came out great :D Also I had never ate granola or any type of recipe similar to this one, but I've got to say that this is my favorite dessert right now!, although caloric but who really cares ?

@Nhordmyr I always have to be eating when I watch him... It might ruin my life but it's so worth it.
love grape nuts. eat it with some fruit and warm milk. i grew up eating that. thanks for making this with a twist.
Brilliant :)..i will try to find grape nuts..i wonder will muesli work?
Upstate NY apple pros use a potato peeler to skin the apples. "Try it...you'll like it."
Love the sound of your voice and the efficiency of your teaching! Tried this recipe and although I was skeptical about the grape nuts, it was indeed the secret to crispy/crunchy! Thanks for sharing this recipe. By the way... GREAT video quality!
"Accidental apple candy" hahaha. Chef John, you are funny!

Annoying orange: Hey apple!
Apple: WHAT?
Annoying orange: Knife!
this i gotta try one day! btw PLEASE JOHN make a sweet creamy apple pie!!!!!
"mmmm....accidental apple candy..." I never thought to use grape nuts! Thanks for the recipe!

thank you sirr
this is awesome!!
i can't find any grape buts, what can i use instead of it?
more oatmeal, muesli, or other?
thank you
Oatmeal, crushed up Kashi cereal, or rice crispies. Its called Grape Nuts. Look for it on Amazon.com
Just made this seeing as apple crisp is my favorite dessert, and the family went nuts. Great recipe
I put in Lemon juice instead of melted butter because they looked similar and I had a long day..
is there anything I can do to save this?
Thanks Chef John!
chef john, can u also make the greatest apple crumble?
i love apple a lot
@mshipporox I think it's so that the liquid doesn't splash all over when you stir. :3
Using a vegetable peeler to peel the apples will result in less hemoglobin in your crisp then if you use a paring knife
"Mmm.. doughnuts.." Go away Homer!
"Mmm.. apple sauce candy" You're speaking my language Chef John!
I also like some (sliced) dried apricots in there. :) mmm
My mom makes the best apple crisp, but this came pretty close! ;)
This look so yummy. Not sure if I would use the grape nuts myself, but it still looks tasty! I would love it if you would do an empanada filling recipe, I usually Find the dough at my local supermarket but I would love to see what you would d with the filling!
3:52
the simpsons reference?
hmmmmm.... sacrilegious
Wow the time stamp isn’t clickable.
oooo.
this looks better than the marshmallow fluff i'm eating right now. ;3
Always great vids...Thanks!
i wish there was a giveaway of chef john's food!
Omg I love that!!!!!!!
Bake on! 😁
Love your commentary
@glhswccc Try adding the white sugar into the apples and let it sit over a colander for about an hour. Most of its moisture will render out.
My mom used to make apple crisp using a jar of applesauce! It was the '70's after all. ;)
For the topping:
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oatmeal (rolled oats)
1/2 cup Grape Nuts
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
For the filling:
5-6 apples
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp water
1/4 tsp cinnamon
"and then, this secret ingredient. do you recognize it? what is it what is it? its grape nuts!" ily chef john

+brad & tara maybe had the pan too close to the burner?
Accidental apple candies are my fave xD
Hi, Chef John,
Do you have any vegitarian recipes, maybe including tofu? you are an amazing chef!!!
Gabrielle
I just made this two days ago, delicious as always! I was requested to make another today. I like having an excuse to wait your videos!
Chef John, we don't have Grape Nuts in New Zealand, what would you use if you had no Grape Nuts??
thank you for taking the time to share your great recipes with us! I will definitely be trying this out very soon ... apple crisp is the best dessert in my humble opinion :) Thank you chef john
Will try this once the apples are on our trees. I bought an apple at the grocery store last week and it cost $3.50!!!! No way I'm buy enough apples to make this.
Victoria Chism Where the fuck do you live that a single apple costs $3.50 what the fuck
@nwLohmann he put some in the sugar/butter mixture :)
I love the way you call it “toppeen” 😂
This is a great recipe, John! I doubled the amount of cinnamon and excluded the grape nuts and it was really good!
Ah Chef John, I love your videos... You had me at "hello." ^_^
Hmmmm accidental Apple candy!😄😂😍😆
That casserole dish has gotten a LOT of use over the years.😀
Made this today and it is so good. Added a pinch of salt +more spices with a little less sugar. didn't have any Lemon so used a little Apple Cider Vinegar. Might try and soften the grape nuts a little the next time as they are really really crunchy.
I would have liked to hear the grape nut crunch when you took your first bite!
Hi chef do you knw of a britsh alternative to grape nut cereal for this recipe? Thanks
YES! I thought I was the only person who adds Grapenuts to her fruit crisp topping. I have to try your trick with the apples too (nothing is worse in a beautiful apple crisp than uncooked apples). Thanks Chef John, and as always, we enjoy!
Such a great idea! What about adding some chopped sweet and spicy pecans?
literally learnt here how to make apple crisp with my little brother😻
