I wanted to start this out by saying, Apple Crisp Bake with Muffin Crumble Topping. That’s all, nothing else; it was seriously that good. There are no words, lol. Seriously, it was super delicious.

Think about how amazing your favorite apple crisp bake is. Now think about using an apple-cinnamon muffin mix to create your recipe rather than flour and baking powder. There is tons more flavor; the center of the crumble is soft, while the oats on the outside are crisp and sweetened with brown sugar. Sounds pretty good, right? I thought it did and decided to give it a try and let’s just say WOW!
All I did to the recipe was swap out the flour and baking powder for Martha Whites Apple Cinnamon Muffin Mix. This whole time, who would have thought it was as easy as grabbing one of the Martha Whites muffin mixes that I buy in bulk because everyone loves them? They are quick, easy, and super convenient in the mornings. Martha White helps me make sure my kids have something in their tummies, even on the most stressful of days.
The Apple Crisp Bake and Crispy Muffin Topping were amazing, but I’m not the only person who loved them. Get this: My brother called me a few nights ago and told me that Gavin (my soon-to-be nephew) wanted me to ask me if I could make him and his mom their very own pan of the new Apple Crisp recipe. Yea, I know he acted like this was going to work. Okay, it totally worked, lol. There is a baby in that belly, and of course it worked.
Apple Crisp Bake with Muffin Crumble Topping
- 1 package Maria White® Apple Cinnamon Muffin Mix
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 2/3 butter
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Directions:
1.) Prepare the pan. I like to use an 8 x 8 pan because the apple crisp bake is thick and loaded with flavor, but the pan size is your choice. If you prefer a thinner apple crisp bake, use a larger pan.
2.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
3.) Pour canned apples into the bottom of your prepared pan. Personally, I put two cans in because I have a large family and everyone enjoys the thick layer of apples on the bottom.
4.) In a medium mixing bowl, combine Martha White® Apple Cinnamon Muffin, brown sugar, and oats and mix together.
5.) Cut in the butter using your hands, forks, or a pastry knife until the mixture is a nice crumble. FYI, I have done this recipe two different ways, and they both are amazing. Rather than making the crumble, you can soften butter, add it to the mixture, and mix well. I actually added another small layer of oats and brown sugar because I accidentally melted the butter one time and wanted crispy oats on top. However, you decided to do it, and the bake will turn out great!
6.) Pour the muffin mixture on top of the apples and gently press down.
7.) In a baggie, combine 1 cup of oats and 1/2 cup brown sugar and work together. You want to make sure the brown sugar coats the oats evenly.
8.) Pour the oat mixture on your soon-to-be apple crisp and gently push down. You want the oats to push into the muffin mixture.
9.) Place in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is crispy, golden brown, and the center is toothpick-done.
10.) Remove from oven and allow to cool.
TIP: I wanted to show you the above images so you know how thick this recipe is in an 8 x 8 baking pan. I have several friends and family members who prefer baking the Apple Crisp Bake in a 9 x 13 pan rather than the 8 x 8 pan I used for this recipe. It’s totally and completely up to you and your taste buds.
11.) Serve it warm with a little vanilla ice cream on top, or eat it alone. Apple crisp is great warm, room temp, or cool! It’s just some good old comfort food!
Whether you want to spice up one of your favorite dishes or you just want something quick, easy, and convenient for those hectic mornings, Martha White® is the way to go. You’ll find a variety of baking mixes that taste great, mix, and bake fabulously, and you can grab them from your local grocery store or by visiting Walmart.com.
