Description

This Classic Apple Crisp is a comforting dessert featuring tender cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery, crumbly oat topping. Perfectly balanced with warm spices and a hint of vanilla, it can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold, and pairs beautifully with salted caramel or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Filling

  • 8 medium peeled apples, cut into 1-inch chunks that are 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick (about 10 cups, or 1200g, chunks)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (85g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats

Optional Serving

  • Salted caramel
  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or any 3.5-4-quart baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the peeled apple chunks, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the apples are evenly coated. Spread this apple filling evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  3. Prepare Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture turns crumbly. Stir in the rolled oats to complete the topping.
  4. Assemble Crisp: Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the apple filling in the baking pan, covering all the apples.
  5. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling around the edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold. Optionally, top with salted caramel and/or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
  7. Store Leftovers: Cover any leftover apple crisp and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • This classic apple crisp offers a delicious blend of warm cinnamon-spiced apples beneath a buttery, brown sugar oat topping.
  • For best results, use tart apples like Granny Smith for a perfect balance of sweet and tart.
  • You can make the topping ahead and keep it refrigerated until ready to assemble.
  • Apple crisp can be frozen either before baking or after baking; thaw and warm before serving.
  • Leftover crisp can also be enjoyed cold or reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Serving with salted caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream elevates the dessert experience but is optional.
