Description
Old-fashioned apple crisp is a classic dessert consisting of sliced apples tossed with cinnamon and topped with a crumbly topping of oats, flour, butter, and brown sugar. It’s baked until the apples are tender and the crumb topping is golden and crisp, creating a comforting dessert and nostalgic treat perfect for the fall season or any time of year.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 apples – your favorite variety
- 2.5 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 9 tablespoons (1 stick + 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, melted
- vanilla ice cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9 by 13″ baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Core apples and slice thinly-you may peel if desired, I leave the skin on mine.
- Place the apples and cinnamon in a large bowl and stir to evenly coat. Pour apples into the prepared pan.
- Mix flour, oats, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Stir in butter and mix until uniform.
- Pour crumble topping evenly over the top of the apples.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter.
- Slice apples very thin to ensure they bake properly.
- Granny Smith or Honey Crisp apples are the best bet for this recipe.
- This recipe is best served fresh. You can store it for up to 3 days in the refrigerator but the topping gets soft when stored. Trust me, eat it up immediately for the best taste!
