Description
This classic apple crisp is a quick and easy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Tender, cinnamon-spiced apples are topped with a buttery, crumbly oat topping for a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
– 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 6-8 medium apples)
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. – Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. – In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated.
3. – Transfer the apple mixture to a 9-inch baking dish.
4. – In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. – Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
6. – Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
7. – Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
For a crunchy topping, you can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the oat mixture. To make it ahead, you can assemble the crisp and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Adjust the baking time as needed.
