Ingredients
Filling
- 8 Apple honeycrisp, or your favorite variety), peeled and sliced (granny smith
Topping
- 1 cup Sugar brown, packed
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1 tsp Nutmeg ground
- ½ cup Butter cold, cut into small pieces, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the crisp bakes evenly.
- Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish. This prevents the crisp from sticking.
- Peel and slice the apples. Arrange them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The cold butter creates pockets of air for a flaky crisp.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. The filling should be bubbly.
- Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra crunchy topping, toss in a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts with the oat mixture before baking.
- If you prefer a less-sweet dessert, swap half the brown sugar in the topping for unsweetened shredded coconut, which adds texture and a hint of natural sweetness.
- To make the apple crisp vegan, substitute the butter with solid coconut oil or a vegan buttery spread; the coconut oil will impart a subtle tropical note to the dish.
- Serve the crisp warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess and a beautiful temperature contrast.
Expert Tips
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor and texture. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are excellent choices.
- Don't overmix the apple filling. Gently combine the ingredients to avoid a mushy texture.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple filling.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover apple crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
