Description
This classic apple crisp recipe features tender, cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery oat crumble. It’s a warm, comforting dessert perfect for fall or anytime you have extra apples on hand.
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat the apples evenly.
- Transfer the apple mixture to a greased 8-inch square baking dish and spread evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, rolled oats, and brown sugar.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and cut in using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for a more complex flavor.
- This dish can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
