Description
A warm, comforting dessert featuring tender cinnamon‑spiced apples topped with a buttery oat-streusel crust. This rustic and easy-to-make apple crisp is perfect for any season.
Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (mix of Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, or Fuji)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (divided)
- 1½ tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup old‑fashioned oats
- ¾ cup all‑purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, diced into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Butter or spray an 8×8 or 9×9‑inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, toss the apples with granulated sugar, ¾ tsp cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Layer them in the prepared dish.
- In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, remaining ¼ tsp cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread the topping evenly over the apples and gently pat it down.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Optional: serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use a variety of apples for best flavor and texture.
- Stir in chopped nuts for added crunch.
- Add spices like nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth.
- Make it gluten-free by using almond meal or gluten-free oats.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
