6 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, to thicken the filling)
Ingredients for the Crisp Topping:
1 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, like walnuts or pecans)
Instructions for apple crisp dessert
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch (or similar size) baking dish.
2. Prepare the Apple Filling:
Toss the apples: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), vanilla extract, and flour (if using). Mix well to evenly coat the apples.
Transfer to baking dish: Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
3. Make the Crisp Topping:
Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in the butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the oat mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If using, stir in the chopped nuts for extra crunch.
Spread over apples: Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the apple filling.
4. Bake:
Bake the apple crisp in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling and tender.
5. Serve the apple crisp dessert
Let the apple crisp cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Enjoy your homemade Apple Crisp! The combination of the soft, spiced apples and crispy oat topping makes it a perfect comfort dessert.
