• Easy to prepare with simple, everyday ingredients.
• Ideal for casual gatherings or special occasions.
• Delicious warm or at room temperature, and fantastic with ice cream or cream.

Ingredients:

For the Apple Filling:

• 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 6 medium apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Crisp Topping:

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions:

Prepare the Apple Filling:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well-coated.
3. Transfer the apple mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish.

Make the Crisp Topping:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble and Bake:

1. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple filling.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
3. Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving.

Serve:

• Serve the apple crisp warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Tips for Success:

• Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best balance of sweet and tart flavors.
• Adjust the sugar in the apple filling based on the sweetness of your apples.
• If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the crisp loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden.

Recipe Variations:

• Berry Apple Crisp: Add a cup of fresh or frozen berries (like blueberries or raspberries) to the apple filling for extra fruitiness.
• Nutty Topping: Incorporate chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans into the crisp topping for added texture.
• Spiced Apple Crisp: Enhance the flavor with a pinch of ground ginger or cloves in addition to the cinnamon.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream for a comforting touch.
• Pair with a simple salad or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.

Freezing and Storage:

• Storage: Keep leftover apple crisp in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: Freeze the cooled, unbaked apple crisp for up to 3 months. To bake from frozen, increase baking time by 10-15 minutes.
• Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through.

Special Equipment:

• Baking Dish: A 9×13-inch baking dish or similar-sized ovenproof dish is ideal for this recipe.
• Pastry Cutter: Useful for cutting butter into the topping mixture, though your fingers will work fine if preferred.

FAQ:

• Can I use pre-sliced apples? Yes, pre-sliced apples work well, but ensure they are fresh and not overly processed.
• Can I make this crisp ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the apple filling and topping in advance, then assemble and bake when ready. Allow extra baking time if the crisp is cold from the fridge.
• Can I use a different topping? Certainly! You can try a crumb topping or a different type of streusel if you prefer.
