Ingredients
- 6 cups Granny Smith apples (green apples) , peeled, cored, and cut into ¼" slices (about 9-10 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 melted butter
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.
