Classic Apple Crisp is a comforting dessert featuring tender, cinnamon-spiced baked apples topped with a buttery, crunchy oat crumble. Perfect to serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6-8 apples)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the apple crisp evenly.
  2. Prepare the apples: In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Toss well to coat all the fruit with the spice mixture.
  3. Assemble the filling: Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased baking dish to create the base layer for the crisp.
  4. Make the topping: In another bowl, mix together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and softened butter until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
  5. Top the apples: Sprinkle the oat crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling to cover it completely.
  6. Bake the crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Serve warm: Remove from oven and serve the apple crisp warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger with the cinnamon in the apple mixture.
  • Using tart apples like Granny Smith helps balance the sweetness and gives a nice texture.
  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing of the crumble topping.
  • The apple crisp can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven before serving.
  • Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make this dish gluten free.
