Apple Crisp
This classic apple crisp recipe features fresh sliced apples tossed with warm spices and topped with a buttery oat crumble. Baked until golden and bubbling, it’s the perfect cozy dessert served warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh apples Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour to thicken
- For the crisp topping:
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9” or similar-sized baking dish.
- Prep the apples: In a large bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the topping: In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut in with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble & bake: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
- Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream—because why not?
