This classic apple crisp recipe features tender, cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery, oat crumble. Baked until golden and bubbling, it’s perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a comforting and delicious dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Filling

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

For the 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

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Mix the Apples: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated white sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to coat all apple slices evenly with the mixture. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the Crisp Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, old fashioned oats, packed brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix well until the mixture becomes crumbly and well coated with butter.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples in your baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy your homemade apple crisp!

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute all purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Adjust sugar quantities based on the sweetness of your apples for a less sweet dessert.
  • For added texture and flavor, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the topping.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
