Description

This easy apple crisp recipe combines tender, cinnamon-spiced apples with a buttery, crumbly oat topping. Perfect for fall, it’s best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Filling:

  • 5 cups fresh apples, sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a deep-dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then pour them into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Make the Topping:
    In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is well coated and crumbly.
  4. Assemble and Bake:
    Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the topping is golden brown. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking.
  5. Serve:
    Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Apple Slicing Tip: Slice apples evenly, about ½ inch thick, for consistent baking. You can also chop them into chunks if you prefer.
  • Optional Additions: Chopped pecans or walnuts make a delicious addition to the topping for added crunch.
  • Serving Suggestions: This apple crisp is fantastic with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
