Apple Crisp Recipe
Homemade apple crisp is made with lightly spiced apples under a crispy oat streusel topping. Bake it until the edges bubble, and it’s ready in under an hour!
Equipment
- 8-inch square baking dish
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
Filling:
- 5 to 6 apples peeled, cored, and sliced (2½ pounds, 1.1kg)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar or packed light brown sugar (66g)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter cut into small cubes (56g)
Topping:
- 1¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (140g)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour (90g)
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar (110g)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes (170g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the apple with the lemon juice. Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg and toss until well combined. Spread into an even layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle it with the butter.
For the Topping:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter to the mixture and work together with your hands or a fork until the mixture is crumbly and has clumps about the size of peas. Sprinkle the topping all over the top of the apples.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the juices are bubbling. Cool for a few minutes and serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Cut the apples into uniform sizes. Thicker pieces will yield a firmer crisp. Thinner slices will bake a soft and tender filling. Slice them however you prefer; just make sure they’re roughly the same size so they cook at the same rate.
- If you don’t have an 8” square baking dish, use a deep 9-inch pie plate or round baking dish instead!
