Warm Apple Crisp (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Apple Filling
01 -
Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced thin
02 -
A mix of dark brown sugar for rich sweetness
03 -
Plain flour for thickening the mixture
04 -
White sugar to balance the flavor
05 -
Cinnamon powder to add warmth
06 -
Freshly grated nutmeg
07 -
Vanilla extract for extra aroma
→ Crunchy Topping
08 -
Rolled oats for the perfect crunch
09 -
All-purpose flour
10 -
Packed brown sugar
11 -
Cinnamon powder
12 -
A small pinch of salt
13 -
Some baking powder
14 -
Unsalted butter, melted
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm up the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
02 -
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Make sure every piece is coated well.
03 -
Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Don’t press it down too much—leave some room for the juices to bubble up.
04 -
In another bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture gets crumbly.
05 -
Scatter the topping evenly over the apples. Make sure no part of the apples is left uncovered.
06 -
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, leaving it uncovered. It’s ready when the top is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling around the edges.
07 -
Cool it for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This lets the filling settle and makes it easier to dish out. A scoop of ice cream on top is always a win!
# Notes:
01 -
Cut cold butter instead of melting it if you want an extra crunchy topping.
02 -
A bit of lemon juice will keep the apple slices from getting brown.
03 -
Make sure the apple slices still have a bit of bite once baked.
04 -
Use a baking sheet under the dish to catch any spills or drips.
