Ingredients 🍏 (Serves 6–8)
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 cups apples (about 5–6 medium), peeled, cored, and sliced — I love using Granny Smith for their tartness!
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (to balance the sweetness)
For the Crumb Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
How to Make This Irresistible Apple Crisp 🍏🤤
1. Prepare the Apples
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Spread the apples evenly into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Crumb Topping
- In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour in the melted butter and mix until crumbs form. It should be slightly clumpy—those bits are the best part! 😋
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apples, pressing down lightly.
3. Bake Until Bubbly
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly and tender.
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving—if you can wait that long!
4. Serve Warm (with Ice Cream, Of Course!) 🍨
- Scoop the apple crisp into bowls and top with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch!
