Why You’ll Love This Blackstone Apple Crisp
- One-pan dessert – Make both the filling and topping on the griddle at the same time.
- Perfect for fall – Cinnamon, apples, and brown sugar bring all the cozy vibes.
- Crowd-pleaser – Easy to scale for family dinners, cookouts, or camping trips.
- Topped your way – Add vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, or whipped cream for the ultimate finish.
Ingredients
- Apples – The star of the dish! Use a mix of sweet and tart apples (like Honeycrisp + Granny Smith) for depth of flavor.
Substitution: Frozen apples can also be used, just thaw and drain first. - Lemon juice – Keeps the apples from browning and adds a touch of brightness to balance the sweetness.
Substitution: Orange juice or a splash of apple cider vinegar works in a pinch. - Brown sugar – Sweetens the apples while giving a warm, caramel-like flavor.
Substitution: White sugar or coconut sugar will work, though you’ll lose a bit of that molasses richness. - All-purpose flour – Helps thicken the juices so the filling isn’t runny.
Substitution: Cornstarch, arrowroot powder, or gluten-free flour blend can be used. - Vanilla extract – Adds warmth and enhances the flavor of the apples.
Substitution: Almond extract for a nutty twist, or maple syrup for added sweetness. - Ground cinnamon – A classic spice that pairs perfectly with apples.
Substitution: Pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice can be swapped for a seasonal variation. - Salt – Balances sweetness and deepens flavor.
Substitution: If using salted butter in the topping, you can omit this.
How to Make Apple Crisp on the Blackstone
- Preheat the griddle – Heat to medium and lightly grease the surface.
- Mix the topping – In one bowl, stir together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until crumbly.
- Mix the apple filling – In another bowl, combine diced apples with lemon juice, flour, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cook separately – Add the apple mixture to one side of the Blackstone and the crisp topping to the other. Cook until the apples soften and the topping is golden brown (the topping will finish first).
- Assemble & serve – Spoon warm apples into a bowl, sprinkle with the crisp topping, and finish with ice cream and caramel drizzle.
Tips for the Best Blackstone Apple Crisp
- Choose the right apples – A mix of tart and sweet apples gives the best flavor.
- Cook the topping separately – This keeps it crisp instead of soggy.
- Make ahead friendly – Chop apples in advance and mix the topping ahead of time for quick assembly at the campsite.
- Serve hot – Apple crisp is best enjoyed warm with cold ice cream for contrast.
Serving Ideas
Apple crisp is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with toppings. Drizzle with caramel sauce, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or serve with whipped cream for a true crowd-pleaser. Pair with hot apple cider or coffee for the perfect fall dessert.
