Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds green apples (6-7 medium or 5 large) peeled and cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons brown sugar divided
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon divided
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon minute tapioca optional, but recommended
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats for gluten free use certified GF rolled oats
- 1 cup shelled walnuts or pecans (or a mix) whole or chopped
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour to make gluten free, you may omit
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter (or non-dairy vegan butter) cut into chunks
- Nonstick cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl. Add 3 tbsp white sugar, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, minute tapioca and vanilla. Stir the apples with the spices, tapioca and vanilla until they are fully and evenly coated. Let the apples stand for 15 minutes. Note: the tapioca is a thickener; you can make the crumble without it, but juices will collect at the bottom of the baking dish and the texture won't be as nice. If you are skipping the tapioca there is no need to wait 15 minutes, you may proceed with the recipe.
- Meanwhile, fit your food processor with a blade attachment. Add the oats, nuts, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon, flour, salt and butter chunks. Pulse the ingredients together until the butter is broken up and coarse crumbles form. If you don't have a food processor, you may cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or two knives. In this case, use chopped nuts rather than whole.
- Spray your baking dish with nonstick oil. Pour in the spiced apples along with any excess liquid from the bowl. Spread the apples out into an even layer in the dish.
- Cover the top of the apple layer with an even layer of the oat mixture, making sure all of the apples are covered.Bake on the middle rack of the oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour until the apples are baked through, the top is nicely browned and the edges are bubbly. Let the crisp stand for at least 10 minutes after you bake it to allow the juices to settle before serving.
- Mound each warm serving onto a dessert plate topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You will also need: large mixing bowl, 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish or 9" pie dish
