This classic apple crisp recipe features tender, cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery, oat-filled crumble. Baked to golden perfection, it’s a comforting dessert perfect for any occasion, especially when served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Filling:

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

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 oven and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  2. Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all apple slices are evenly coated with the mixture. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  3. Make the crisp topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, old fashioned oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined.
  4. Assemble the apple crisp: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the apple layer in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage to form a crisp crust.
  5. Bake the crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. For an extra special touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy your delightful dessert!

Notes

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Fuji for a balanced flavor.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • The topping can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for convenience.
  • Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.
