Buttery Apple Crisp Recipe

This Buttery Apple Crisp combines tart Granny Smith apples with a spiced, crumbly topping made from flour, sugars, oats, and butter. Baking the apples until tender under a buttery crisp topping creates a warm dessert with a pleasing contrast of soft fruit and crisp edges. The touch of cinnamon and lemon juice enhances the apple flavor, while serving it warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream adds a creamy balance.

Description

The Buttery Apple Crisp Recipe features thinly sliced Granny Smith apples tossed with sugar, melted butter, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice to create a flavorful apple filling. The crisp topping blends flour, granulated and brown sugars, salt, cold cubed butter, and rolled oats to form clumps that brown and crisp during baking. Baking at 350 degrees unfolds the apples’ softened texture beneath the golden, crumbly topping.

The result is a cozy dessert showcasing tart apples softened but still retaining shape and a buttery topping providing contrasting texture. This dessert serves well warm, paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to complement the spices and richness.

Using rolled oats in the topping is optional but adds texture and rustic appeal. The balance of sweet, tart, and buttery flavors makes it a satisfying fruit dessert for colder months or whenever you want a comforting treat with fresh apples.

Ingredients

Servings

For the apple filling:

  • 4 apple Granny Smith variety
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

For the crisp topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 7 tablespoons butter cubed, cold
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a medium-size casserole dish and set aside.
  2. Peel and core apples. Slice into thin pieces and place into large bowl. Toss together with sugar, melted butter, flour, cinnamon and lemon juice. Pour into prepared pan and spread to even out.
  3. For the crisp topping: measure all ingredients into a large bowl and use a pastry cutter to blend butter into dry ingredients. Mix 1-2 minutes using your hands to soften the butter slightly and have the topping come together in clumps. Spread topping evenly over the apples.
