Ingredients
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.
