This classic American apple crisp features tender, spiced apples baked under a crunchy, buttery oat topping. It’s an easy-to-make, comforting dessert perfect for fall and year-round enjoyment.

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 5 cups fresh apples sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon 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 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set it aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all apples are evenly coated with the mixture. Then pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, old fashioned oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is well coated and crumbly.
  4. Assemble the crisp: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish, making sure to cover all the apples as much as possible.
  5. Bake the apple crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes until the fruit is soft and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. For best flavor, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your delicious apple crisp!

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Using tart apples like Granny Smith provides a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • The topping can be enhanced with chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • Leftover apple crisp can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
  • Adjust the sugar amount depending on the tartness of the apples and your preference.
