Description
The Classic Apple Crisp is a cozy dessert that captures the essence of autumn. Warm cinnamon-spiced apples are baked beneath a buttery oat topping that crisps up beautifully in the oven, adding a delicious crunch with every bite. Each spoonful reveals tender, caramelized apples with hints of vanilla and nutmeg, making it an irresistible choice for a fall treat.
Ingredients
Filling:
8 medium apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 10 cups or 1200g)
½ cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
¼ cup (31g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
Topping:
¾ cup (94g) all-purpose flour
¾ cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup (85g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
Optional: Salted caramel and vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan:
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or a similar 3.5-4 quart baking dish.
Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until apples are evenly coated, then spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Make the Topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the oats. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the apple filling.
Bake:
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Serve:
Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold, and pair with salted caramel and/or vanilla ice cream if desired.
