Our family has always loved apple crisp. And my 7-year old often tells me that the one thing that would make it better would be vanilla ice cream on top! Well, isn’t everything better with ice cream on top?!! We don’t often have ice cream in the house, so I thought I’d experiment with a way of getting that vanilla-y, creamy taste right in the apple crisp. And since I’m a #GayLeaMom, what better product to experiment with than Gay Lea Gold Premium Sour Cream! Gay Lea’s Gold Premium Sour Cream is Gay Lea’s thickest, richest sour cream made with 3 simple ingredients. It is perfect for dips, dressings, and baking! It is available in Ontario only, sorry!
With the addition of the sour cream, I also created a crust to make these more of a square or bar instead of just apple crisp. They can be served warm as a dessert, or cold, as squares, and taste just as delicious either way!
- 1.5 c. flour (half white and half whole wheat works well)
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 1/4 c. butter, unsalted
- 3 c. apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 c. Gay Lea Gold Sour cream
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/3 c. brown sugar
- 3/4 c. flour
- 3/4 c. oats
- 1/3 c. butter
- 1. In a large bowl, combine crust ingredients, cutting in the butter until it resembles small crumbs. Press into a 9 x 13 dish.
- 2. Combine filling ingredients in bowl, and mix until well-combined. Pour evenly over the crust.
- 3. For topping, mix flour, sugar and oats. Cut in butter and sprinkle evenly over the filling.
- 4. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

I make thumbprint cookies every year filled with homemade blueberry jam! Cheers 🙂
We love Apple Crisp. Thanks for the recipe, I have never made them with sour cream.
Those sound delicious. I definitely need to try those.
These look delicious! Thanks for the recipe – Definitely saving
My fave dessert to bake is Toblerone Fudge. Actually, maybe that doesn’t count…it doesn’t require baking! In which case, I also love to bake good old fashioned chocolate chip cookies!
I would make….everything! But specifically I would try bread, and use the tool to shred croquette meat easier 🙂
My favourite dessert for the holidays is cheesecake. I’ll make one topped with cherries so it’s red and white 🙂
I would make some shortbread cookies!
I love baking and making all sorts of things, but at this time of year I especially enjoy doing mini chocolate cheesecakes and would definitely rather mix it in a Kitchen Aid than on my own if I won. 🙂
Wow these looks amazing! I have all the ingredients in the house already. haha =-) I will have to try it.
This sounds like a wonderful recipe! My guys love apple crisp, so I’m pretty sure they would love these!!

I’d make my mom’s brownie recipe. A family favourite!
yum! All this baking talk is making me hungry! I personally love making any dessert that has chocolate and mint in it – just fits the season so well! I still do love a traditional Apple pie or Apple crisp though too!
I had no idea about using sour cream in baking. What a great idea. I am going to try this recipe as it sounds so tasty and moist.
I’ll bet that adds a most delicious flavor and moistness to the bars. I love it!
