Ingredients
For the Filling
- 5 cup apples* peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the Topping
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter cold
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Set aside a 9x9-inch or 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar, flour, butter, milk, lemon juice, cinnamon, apple pie spice, and vanilla. Toss until evenly coated.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the mixture until pea-sized clumps form. Sprinkle the mixture over the filling.
- Place in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. (Note: If you're using a smaller pan, you may need to tent the top with foil and cook for the full 50 minutes).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce!
Notes
*I like to use at least two varieties of apples in any apple dessert I make. For this particular recipe, I used Granny Smith and Envy apples.
To STORE your leftover Apple Crisp, place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. To FREEZE, prepare the crisp (unbaked) in an aluminum foil pan and freeze for 3-4 months. Bake as directed when ready.
To REHEAT, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or microwave individual servings in 30-second intervals.
