Description
This Apple Crisp is a cozy fall dessert featuring tender, cinnamon-spiced apples under a buttery, golden oat topping. Easy to make and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- Optional: 1/3 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, toss sliced apples with granulated sugar, 1 tbsp flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Spread evenly in prepared dish.
- In another bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in optional nuts if using.
- Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over apple filling.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until topping is golden and apples are bubbling.
- Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for best flavor and texture.
- Rolled oats give a crispier topping than quick oats.
- Prepare topping and filling separately ahead and assemble just before baking.
- Add chopped nuts or a splash of vanilla for extra depth.
