Description

This classic apple crisp recipe is a comforting and delicious dessert featuring tender baked apples topped with a buttery, cinnamon-spiced oat crumble. Perfectly balanced with a hint of vanilla and a golden, crispy topping, this apple crisp is easy to prepare and ideal for serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Apples Mixture

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

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a deep dish pie plate or a large baking dish generously with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix Apples: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure all apple slices are evenly coated with the sugar and spices. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Make Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, old fashioned oats, brown sugar, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is fully coated and forms a crumbly texture. Evenly sprinkle this crumb topping over the apples in the baking dish.
  4. Bake the Crisp: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Bake until the fruit is tender and juicy, and the topping is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  5. Serve: Serve the apple crisp warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the warm spices and crisp topping. Enjoy your comforting and flavorful dessert!

Notes

  • Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness and tartness.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
  • Adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the topping adds delightful texture and flavor.
  • Leftover apple crisp can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of your apples to suit taste preference.
