Satisfy your sweet cravings with this delightful apple crisp recipe. Perfect for cozy evenings or holiday gatherings, this dessert combines tender baked apples with a crispy oat topping for a comforting and delicious treat. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 6 cups sliced apples (about 6 medium-sized apples)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
