Apple Crisp Recipe
Description
The Apple Crisp Recipe combines fresh Golden Delicious or Honeycrisp apples sliced and tossed with lemon juice and a blend of flour, sugars, cinnamon, and warm spices such as ginger, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg. This mixture thickens and flavors the apples as they bake.
A streusel topping made from rolled oats, flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cold butter is mixed until crumbly and chilled briefly before being sprinkled evenly over the apple filling. Baking at 375°F for 30-35 minutes produces a golden brown, textured crust with tender spiced apples underneath.
Serve apple crisp warm, perhaps with cream or ice cream. The mix of soft, tart-sweet apples and crisp, spiced topping makes this a classic and comforting dessert choice. Adjust spices to taste based on freshness and personal preference.
Ingredients
For the streusel topping:
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour 95 grams
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned, 99 grams
- ½ cup light brown sugar 100 grams
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cubed, cold, 113 grams
For the filling:
- 7 to 8 apple such as Golden Delicious or Honeycrisp, fresh
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh, from about 1 medium lemon
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour 32 grams
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100 grams
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar firmly packed, 79 grams, 1 tablespoon
- 1 teaspoon salt fine
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Make the streusel topping:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch metal or glass pan with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Whisk together until combined. With a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the apple filling.
Make the filling:
- Core, peel, and slice the apples into ¼ -inch to ½ -inch slices until you reach 6 cups of sliced apples, weighing 650 grams. Place in a medium-sized bowl and immediately drizzle with the lemon juice, tossing until evenly coated.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the flour, sugars, salt and spices (adjust to your preference). Pour dry mixture over the apples and toss to coat, mixing until evenly distributed amongst the apples.
- Pour the apple mixture directly into the greased pan. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples feel tender when pierced with a fork, and the topping is golden brown. Let the apple crisp cool for 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
- Adjust spices according to their strength and your taste preference.
- Use a metal or glass 9x13-inch baking pan and grease well before assembling.
- Choose apples like Golden Delicious or Honeycrisp for balanced sweetness and texture.
