A classic and comforting Apple Crisp recipe featuring tender baked apples topped with a buttery, cinnamon-spiced oat crumble. Perfectly balanced sweetness and warm spices make this dessert ideal for cozy gatherings or a simple treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Filling:

  • 5 cups fresh apples, sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Crisp Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  2. Combine Apples and Flavorings: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly so that all apple slices are evenly coated. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly topping.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apple filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. For an extra special touch, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your cozy dessert!

Notes

  • For best results, use tart apples like Granny Smith or a mix of sweet and tart apples for flavor complexity.
  • Ensure butter is melted but not too hot when adding to the dry ingredients to achieve the perfect crumbly texture.
  • Allow the crisp to cool slightly; this helps the topping set for easier serving.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
  • Optional: Add a handful of chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the topping for added crunch.
