Old Fashioned Apple Crisp
This old fashioned apple crisp has tender cinnamon apples under a buttery oat topping. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream for a cozy dessert.
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 10 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced thin, and halved
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cups quick cooking oats
- 1 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup melted unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Mix sliced apples with brown sugar, flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until evenly coated.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly into the baking dish without pressing it down tightly.
- Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
- Pour in melted butter and stir just until the mixture looks moistened and crumbly.
- Scatter the topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping turns golden and the filling bubbles at the edges.
- Let the apple crisp rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving so the filling thickens.
Notes
Use cold cubed butter for a crunchier topping. Toss apples with lemon juice if preparing ahead. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
