Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Filling
- 5 cups fresh apples (sliced)
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crisp Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all apple slices are evenly coated with the sugar and spices. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir well until the mixture becomes crumbly and well coated.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumbly oat topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the fruit is soft and bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the apple crisp to cool slightly for a few minutes. Serve warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. Enjoy!
