A beloved treat in many households, it evokes the cozy spirit of autumn and makes for a comforting indulgence. Whether served as a dessert or enjoyed with a hot drink, Apple Crisp is always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Filling:

  • 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

For the Crisp Topping:

  • 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 the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with white sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, ground cinnamon, and water. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

  • Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in the melted butter and stir until crumbly.

  • Assemble: Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.

  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

  • Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • Apple variety: For the best flavor, use a mix of tart apples (like Granny Smith) and sweet apples (like Honeycrisp).

  • Topping texture: Use cold butter for a crumbly, crisp topping.

  • Optional: Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping for added crunch and flavor.

  • Healthy options: Substitute some sugar with honey or maple syrup, and use coconut oil or olive oil instead of butter for a healthier version.
