Description
This crunchy apple crisp boasts perfectly spiced apples topped with a golden, oat-filled crumb that brings warmth and sweetness to your dessert table.
Ingredients
- 6 cups of thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
- 3⁄4 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon of salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1⁄2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1⁄2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until well mixed and apples are coated. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
4. Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, stirring until crumbs form and all ingredients are combined.
5. Spread the apple mixture evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
6. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring all the apples are covered.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
8. Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving for the best texture.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the topping mixture.
Serve this crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delicious dessert.
If you prefer a sweeter dish, you can increase the amount of sugar to taste.
This recipe is a great way to use up apples that are slightly bruised or overripe.
