Description
A classic and comforting Old Fashioned Apple Crisp recipe featuring tender baked apples with a sweet, crumbly cinnamon-spiced topping.
Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 6 medium apples (about 2.5 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji work well)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt for the topping.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers, a pastry blender, or a fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Delicious warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji are recommended for their texture and flavor.
- Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
