Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
Apple Filling:
- 2 ½ pounds Granny Smith apples (washed, peeled, cored, and sliced ½ inch thick)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Crisp Topping:
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened and cut into chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Make the apple filling: Wash, peel, and core apples. Cut each apple into even slices, about ½ inch thick. Places slices into a large bowl and toss with lemon juice.
- Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vanilla extract to the apples. Mix until apple slices are evenly coated.
- Spray 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the apple mixture into the dish and spread out evenly.
- Make the crisp topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the softened butter in chunks. Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
- Place the baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any spill over from juices. Bake in preheated oven for 35 – 45 minutes. It's ready when the topping is golden brown and juices bubble around the edges.
- Let the apple crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle if desired. Cover any leftovers and store in the refrigerator.
