Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 5 cups fresh apples (sliced)
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crisp 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 and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a deep dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Mix Apples: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the apples are evenly coated with the mixture. Transfer this apple mixture into the prepared baking dish evenly.
- Prepare Crisp Topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, old fashioned oats, packed brown sugar, salt, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your comforting homemade apple crisp!
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the topping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This crisp can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
- To make it gluten free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten free flour blend.
