It’s easier than apple pie and is always a fall dessert crowd-pleaser! Not to mention the amazing smell that engulfs your home while it’s baking!
How to Make this Classic Apple Crisp Recipe
A mix of sweet and tart apples is the perfect flavor combination for this crisp. I usually use 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup. If you like a dessert to be really sweet, go with 3/4 cup of brown sugar if you like it a little less sweet, use 1/2 cup. I went 3/4 cup because I was using Granny Smith apples in addition to the Honeycrisp apples. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. This tool makes the job easy! Place them in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Toss to evenly coat all the apple slices. Preheat the oven to 375ºF degrees. Butter an 8×8 baking dish and pour the apple mixture into the baking dish.
How to Make Oatmeal Topping
Place the cold butter, oats, flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into the other ingredients with a pastry cutter or fork until it forms a crumbly mixture. Spread the crumb topping evenly over the apples and bake for 35 minutes until the apples are tender and the top is golden brown. You can check this by sliding a knife into the apples, it should slide in easily. Let cool slightly. Serve warm homemade apple crisp (just like grandma used to make) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This simple classic dessert brings all the flavors of Fall. It is sweet and tart, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Perfectly easy and delicious!
Tips
I like to use a mix of Granny Smith apples and Honeycrisp apples. The amount of sugar you choose to use will depend on the sweetness of the apples you use and how sweet you like your apple crisp.In my humble opinion, using dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar adds a depth of flavor that can’t be beaten. It brings an extra layer of warm, cozy fall flavors to the best apple crisp you have ever eaten.To check if the apples are cooked through poke them with the tip of a knife, it should slide easily into the apple slice.
