Ingredients
Scale
Apple Mixture
- 5 cups fresh apples, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crisp Topping
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set it aside to ensure the apple crisp doesn’t stick during baking.
- Mix Apples: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well so all apple slices are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Crisp Topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well coated. This topping will create the signature crunchy layer.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping turns a golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the apple crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance the dessert’s richness and texture. Enjoy your comforting apple crisp!
