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.
