Description
Warm, comforting, and filled with fall magic, this homemade apple crisp features tender cinnamon apples and a buttery oat topping that cracks beautifully under each spoonful. A nostalgic, cozy dessert perfect for gatherings or quiet nights in.
Ingredients
5 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon (divided)
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup old-fashioned oats
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and butter a deep pie dish or baking pan.
2. Peel and slice apples into ½-inch wedges (about 5 cups).
3. In a large bowl, toss apples with granulated sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
4. Spread the apple mixture evenly in your prepared dish.
5. In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and remaining ½ tsp cinnamon.
6. Stir in melted butter and mix until crumbly, using your hands to form clumps.
7. Sprinkle the topping over the apples, covering all corners.
8. Bake for 45–60 minutes, until topping is golden brown and apples are bubbly.
9. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
Notes
• For extra crunch, add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping.
• Swap flour with a gluten-free blend or use coconut oil instead of butter for dietary needs.
• Leftovers keep for 4 days refrigerated; reheat in oven for best texture.
• Can be frozen unbaked for up to 3 months; bake straight from freezer with extra time.
