u003cstrongu003eHow do you know when the apple crisp is done?u003c/strongu003e

I can usually tell when my apple crisp is ready because the apple filling starts to bubble up onto the topping. You can also try inserting a paring knife into the apples to see if they are tender.

Cu003cstrongu003ean you make this recipe into bars instead?u003c/strongu003e

I haven’t tried this yet, but I think you could definitely make this recipe into bars. I would recommend lining your baking dish with parchment paper before pouring in the filling. Then, after baking, let the pan cool completely before slicing into bars. If you give this a try, let me know how it turns out in the comments below.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Prepare the apple filling: Place the chopped apples in a medium bowl and sprinkle cornstarch on top, mixing well to coat evenly. Add the light brown sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and water. Mix well and set the bowl aside.
Make the topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add in the melted butter and mix well until the entire mixture is evenly moistened and crumbly.
Assemble the crisp: Pour the apple filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it so that it evenly coats the bottom of the dish. Crumble the topping on top, spreading it so that it covers the entire apple layer.
Bake for 35-38 minutes, or until the apple filling starts to bubble up around the edges and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool before serving. Enjoy with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream for maximum satisfaction!
Stored in an airtight container, this apple crisp will keep fresh for 3-4 days.

Notes

In the past, I have also had success making this recipe in a 9-inch pie pan.
If you'd like to use an 8 x 8-inch baking dish instead, I would recommend doubling this recipe.
