Scale
Filling:
- 5 cups fresh apples, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Prepare Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated with the spices and sugar. Then, transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, old fashioned oats, packed brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes well coated and crumbly.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apple filling in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes until the apple filling is soft and the topping turns golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the apple crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. Enjoy your delicious homemade apple crisp!
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for balanced flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a crunchier topping, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the crumb mixture.
- Allow the crisp to cool slightly for easier serving and to prevent burns.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
