Hey there, dessert lovers! If you’re anything like us, you’ve been craving something warm and comforting to end your meal.
We’ve got just the treat for you—our irresistible apple crisp recipe. It’s super easy to make and packs all the cozy, cinnamon-spiced goodness you could ever want.
<h3> Ingredients </h3>
<b> For the Apple Filling:</b>
• 6 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
<b> For the Crisp Topping:</b>
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small pieces)
<h3> Instructions </h3>
<b> 1.Preheat Your Oven:</b> Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that it’s hot enough to bake the crisp evenly.
<b> 2.Prepare the Apples:</b> Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even pieces. Place them in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated with the sugar and spices.
<b> 3.Make the Crisp Topping:</b> In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to blend. Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be well incorporated but not fully melted.
<b> 4.Assemble the Crisp:</b> Transfer the apple mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish. Spread the apple mixture evenly. Sprinkle the crisp topping over the apples, covering them completely.
<b> 5.Bake:</b> Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes. The topping should be golden brown, and the filling should be bubbly and thickened. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking.
<b> 6.Cool and Serve:</b> Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This allows the juices to thicken up a bit more. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
<h3> Tips </h3>
• <b> Apple Variety:</b> For best results, use a mix of tart and sweet apples to balance the flavors.
• <b> Make Ahead:</b> You can prepare the crisp topping and apple filling ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble just before baking.
• <b> Spice Variations: </b> Feel free to experiment with additional spices like cloves or allspice if you prefer a more complex flavor.
