Apple crisp with self rising flour

Apple crisp with self rising flourMy grandma makes the best apple crisps. She’s made one for just about every holiday meal as long as I can remember, so for me it’s the ultimate comfort food. Since we couldn’t get together for Easter this year, I decided to make my own apple crisp using my mix of apples and self rising flour instead of traditional flour.Apple Crisp with self Rising flour in bowl 2

Why self rising flour? 

I bet you’re wondering why I seem to only use self rising flour, right? Fair enough. It started with a bag of self rising flour I was trying to get rid of a few years ago, and I found I preferred it in baked goods.

For the past few years I’ve used self rising flour in every type of baking I do {besides baked sandwich breads}. Self rising flour has a lighter texture than traditional flour because of the self rising aspect, which makes for amazing baked goods. The bonus is the all-in-one combination cuts down on ingredients dramatically. Why not make baking even easier?

I strongly encourage you to play around with self rising flour and see how fun the results are. Be sure to scroll down to see all of our popular self rising flour recipes below. Check this post for even more self rising flour recipes as well as how to convert regular flour to self rising

  2. I am glad i came across your apple crisp recipe . I was looking for a different recipe to use some apples my husband got its just the 2of us so we cant eat all of them and I have always brought self rising flour ever since i started cooking at the age of 8 which i want say how many decades that was . Lol. Mostly all recipes call for plain flour and i just don’t see buying flour that you have to buy extra stuff to put in it to bake or use it in any recipes so glad i came across a great apple crisp recipe that i am excited to try but there’s someone else out there that has self rising flour in there kitchen.
