This Pomegranate and Apple Crisp is the perfect dessert to make when you have apples to use up. Don’t forget the scoop of ice cream on top!
I’m giving in. I’m breathing fall in. Because what better time than now? When temperatures are dropping to near freezing, and I can’t put on enough sweaters.
Also, all of my clothes are falling apart!! This is the count so far:
First, 3 ripped pants. And not the cool kind of rip. I’m talking about the one right down the derriere area. Sexy, right?
Second, 2 ripped sweaters. Somehow only the armpits got the full effect of the ripping, but I have one sweater which is ripping from the sleeves and the left chest area (somehow..). I haven’t thrown this one out… yet. Buying new shoes has just been the icing to my frosty cold cake. Why do I need new boots? There is a hole on the bottom of both of them. I can’t walk outside for more than 3 minutes without my feet getting soaked.
Maybe my bad luck is stemming from the fact that I have yet to embrace fall. No pumpkin recipes, no apple recipes…nothing. To me, embracing fall is making something with apples. Something comforting. Something like a warm apple crisp.
I am almost embarrassed to admit that I have never tried apple crisp until a couple of years ago…and even then, I have never made it myself.
Well this is changing right here, right now. I can practically smell the future apple crisps I will be making after this Pomegranate and Apple Crisp.

I normally use Granny Smith apples 🍏 for my apple crisp, is this what I should use for your recipe?
Yes that would work!
I am drooling to taste this dessert.
It is so delicious and looks so easy to make!
It’s one of my favourites for the fall 🙂
This looks delicious and cozy! Never thought of pairing pomegranate and apple before, but you make it look delish! Will give it a go!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
I have never baked with pomegranates before. This crisp dessert sounds wonderful! We love a good apple crisp recipe, especially during the fall season!
Me too! Thanks Ann 🙂
This dessert looks really tasty and combines two of my favorite fruits. Definitely gonna have to try it.
Let me know how it goes!
What’s a comforting dessert! I’m so glad you thought to add pomegranate to apple crisp because I never would have! I made this for my son because he absolutely loves pomegranate and he was so so pleased. The two fruits paired just wonderfully and it was easy to prepare.
It’s definitely a great unexpected combo 🙂
Lol…I hear you about clothes getting worn out and needing a new wardrobe. Sometimes, it’s. just time!! I’ve never made anything with pomegranate and this would be the first thing I’d try. Apple crisp is a favorite at home and the combination with pomegranate looks amazing. Thanks for sharing the delicious recipe.
So glad you liked it 🙂
I made this and served it with Blue Bell vanilla ice cream. It was DELICIOUS! The pomegranate really jazzes this crisp up. It was an incredible combination.
That combo sounds fantastic! So glad you liked it! 🙂
Apple crisp is one of my favourite fall desserts. I hardly ever make it because my mother in law makes it so often! But I had to make an exception and make this for the family. The addition of the pomegranate is so good! I may never go back to the traditional way again.
Aahh yay this makes me so happy to hear!
