How to Make The BEST Apple Crisp Recipe
Description
This apple crisp recipe layers tart green apples with sugar and warming spices, allowing the sugar to macerate the fruit and create a flavorful syrup during baking. The apples are coated with flour to help thicken the liquid released. The crumble topping combines old-fashioned oats with flour and brown sugar, enhanced by baking powder for a slight lift. Melted butter is mixed in by hand until small clusters form, providing a textured, buttery crust after baking.
The dish is baked uncovered until the apples are soft and the topping is golden brown and crisp. If browning occurs too quickly, covering with foil prolongs cooking without over-darkening. Cooling the crisp before serving improves sauce thickness and texture.
Serving suggestions include vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, which contrast the warm tartness and add richness. This straightforward preparation balances soft fruit with crunchy topping, delivering a classic autumn dessert with familiar flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 6 cups apple peeled, cored, and cut into ¼" slices (about 9-10 green apples, Granny Smith (green apples
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For the Topping
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar, 1 ½ tablespoon flour, salt cinnamon, and nutmeg, and set aside for the sugar to soften the apples and macerate, creating a light syrup. In a smaller mixing bowl, toss the oats, 1 ½ cups flour, brown sugar, and baking powder together, then use your fingers to mix in the melted butter, gently making small clumps where you can.
- Layer the sugared apples and their juice in a 9 X 13 baking dish and sprinkle evenly with the oatmeal mixture, but don't pack it tightly. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes until the apples are soft and tender and the sauce has thickened and is bubbly. If the crisp seems to be browning too much, cover with foil for the remaining cooking time.
- Let the apple crisp cool for 20-30 minutes before serving for the caramel sauce to thicken. Divide in bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or whip cream, and serve.
