Time 2h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup apple cider
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 pounds Granny Smith apples
2 pounds Honeycrisp apples
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • For the filling: Whisk together the brown sugar, flour, apple cider, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Peel and core the apples and cut into chunks. Add the apples to the brown sugar mixture and toss to combine.
  • Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
  • For the topping: Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter cubes and use your fingers to completely work the butter into the flour mixture. The mixture should hold its shape when squeezed.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling, squeezing some of the mixture into small clumps. Bake until the filling is bubbly, the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown, about 1 hour.
  • Let sit for at least 45 minutes and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a crispy topping, use a combination of oats, flour, and brown sugar.
  • If you don't have any rolled oats, you can use quick oats instead.
  • To make the crisp ahead of time, assemble it and then cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • For a healthier version of this crisp, use whole wheat flour and maple syrup instead of white flour and granulated sugar.
  • Serve the apple crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

This apple crisp is the perfect fall dessert. It's easy to make, and it's always a hit with family and friends. The apples are soft and juicy, the topping is crispy and flavorful, and the whole thing is just the right amount of sweetness. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this apple crisp a try. You won't be disappointed!
