This Apple Crisp recipe is a classic fall dessert featuring fresh sliced apples layered with a buttery cinnamon oat topping. It bakes to golden perfection and tastes divine when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making it a cozy and comforting treat.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 5 cups fresh apples, sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a deep dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated white sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well so the apples are evenly coated with the sweet cinnamon mixture. Transfer this filling into the prepared baking dish evenly spreading it out.
  3. Prepare the topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well coated.
  4. Assemble the crisp: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish to form a nice layer on top.
  5. Bake the apple crisp: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Bake until the fruit is soft and the topping is golden brown and crisp. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking to prevent burning.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove from oven and allow the apple crisp to cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence. Enjoy your perfect fall dessert!

Notes

  • Slice your apples evenly using a slicer for speed and uniformity; aim for slices about 1/2 inch thick for even baking.
  • To prevent over-browning of the topping, cover loosely with aluminum foil if the apples need more baking time.
  • Optional: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for added crunch, keeping in mind nut allergies if serving to children.
  • This dish is excellent served warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
