  2. I made this but needed to bake at least a hour b4 it turned brown … why? My oven temp is spot on.. hmmm… also added 5 apice like y suggest in your pumpkin pie no crack recipe… which by the way is AWESOME. TY!!!!

  3. so normally I need to screw up a recipe a few times to get it but his came out perfect first time, Thanks Chef John!

  4. 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.

  5. I followed this recipe and it turned out delicious. But I must say that the grape nuts are very VERY crunchy. Borderline too crunchy.

  6. Using a vegetable peeler to peel the apples will result in less hemoglobin in your crisp then if you use a paring knife

  7. Thank you for your excellent channel. I have tried several of your recipes with great success.
    In my version, I didnt have Grape Nuts but used granola instead. Great crunch! Also added a 1/4 cup of dried cranberries rehydrated in brandy and water 50/50. Also used brandy in place of water when cooking the apples. Fantastic results. Thanks again Chef John.

  8. Grape nuts cereal is my favorite now since I learned “real fast” how to eat them. You definitely don’t want to eat the same amount as you would another cereal because they swell in your belly, I learned the hard way.

  9. I love watching your videos as they are educational and inspiring for anyone who loves food. Your commentary is great too. Thank you!

  10. 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.

  11. I know this is a pretty old video but for those who may just be seeing this for the first time now….. Just wanted to let you know that they don't make Grape Nuts any more so you'll have to find an alternative.

  12. 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.

  13. Just put a crisp in the oven…didn’t have Grape Nuts, so I used Quaker Harvest Crunch, lol…we’ll see how that turns out?? Cheers! 🇨🇦

  14. 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!

  15. This is a great recipe, John! I doubled the amount of cinnamon and excluded the grape nuts and it was really good!

  16. Chef John, just checking in to tell you that I made this today with Tart Michigan apples!
    It's a long time Chef John, go to, favorite recipe ~ 😊

  17. Made this instead of ambrosia at Thanksgiving….the family has me bringing the apple crisp forChristmas !Thank you for your tutorials…
    Merry Christmas 🎅

  18. 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.

  19. The grape nuts makes this exceptional!! That crunch is amazing even in leftovers the next few days.

  20. Thank-you Chef John I was having a sad day your voice & humour add great recipices cheered me up enormously. Going to try it with some local peaches 🍑 Thanks again Best line ever between you & the first two or three layers on the roof of your mouth
