Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 8 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the apple crisp.
  2. Prepare Apple Mixture: In a large bowl, combine peeled, cored, and sliced apples with granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Add Water and Combine: Pour in 1/2 cup of water and mix well to create the filling. Transfer this apple mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. Make Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Pour melted butter over the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  5. Assemble: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Apple Choice: Use a mix of tart and sweet apples such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for balanced flavor.
  • Even Slicing: Slice the apples evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate and achieve uniform texture.
  • Topping Texture: Avoid overmixing the topping to keep it crumbly and light rather than dense.
  • Baking Time: Bake the crisp until the topping turns golden brown and the apples are soft but not mushy, about 40-45 minutes.
