Here’s a classic Apple Crisp recipe—warm, sweet, and perfectly crumbly. 🍎✨
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 6 cups apples (about 6 medium), peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp cornstarch (for thickening, optional if apples are juicy)
For the Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (can use almond or oat flour for gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly
2. Prepare the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine apples, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch
- Toss until apples are well coated
- Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish
3. Make the Crisp Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt
- Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fingers to mix until crumbly
4. Assemble
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture
5. Bake
- Bake 40–45 minutes, or until topping is golden and apples are bubbly
- Let cool slightly before serving
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
- Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence
Tips
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for depth of flavor
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) to the topping
- You can prep ahead and freeze unbaked, then bake when ready
If you want, I can also give a gluten-free or low-sugar version of Apple Crisp that’s just as tasty. Do you want me to do that?
