Is an apple crisp the same as a crumble?

Crisps and crumbles are very similar baked fruit desserts, but the difference is in the topping. The topping on a crumble tends to be more dense and cakey where as the topping on a crisp is lighter. The toppings on a crisp tend to contain oats.

What are the best apples to use?

It’s best to use tart apples in this sheet pan apple crisp so that they contrast with the sweet topping. I used Granny Smith apples in mine, pink pearl would also work well. Apples should be firm for the best results.
