Ingredients
10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons water
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples (approximately 10 cups) with white sugar, flour, cinnamon, and water. Toss well to coat the apples evenly with the mixture.
Pour the apple mixture into a greased baking dish.
For the topping, in another bowl, mix the quick-cooking oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
Drizzle in the melted butter and stir until crumbly.
Spread the topping evenly over the apple mixture.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding cranberries for a tart-sweet Apple Cranberry Crisp.
- Adding nuts like walnuts or pecans to the topping can give the crisp an extra crunch.
- You can also drizzle the finished crisp with caramel sauce for an additional burst of sweetness.
