Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 medium peeled apples, cut into 1-inch chunks that are 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick (about 10 cups chunks)
1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup (80g) old-fashioned whole oats
optional: salted caramel and vanilla ice cream for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Any 4 quart baking dish works.
  • Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl, then spread into the baking pan.
  • Whisk the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture becomes super crumbly. Stir in the oats. Sprinkle over filling.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges. Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold- plain or with salted caramel and/or vanilla ice cream.
  • Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your apple crisp a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Add some spices to the apples. This will enhance their flavor. Good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Use a combination of oats, flour, and sugar for the topping. This will give the crisp a crunchy and flavorful topping.
  • Bake the crisp until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Apple crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover apples and is a perfect dessert for a fall gathering. With a few simple tips, you can make an apple crisp that is sure to impress your friends and family.
