Apple Crisp
My mom's famous apple crisp recipe is loaded with baked sliced apples and a crispy oat based topping that you'll love! Bonus points for ice cream
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 5-6 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2-3 Fuji Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- ¾ cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- Vanilla ice cream to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Peel, core, quarter and slice the apples into ⅓ inch pieces. Pile the apple slices into decorative baking dish (about 10 inches in diameter) and sprinkle with the cinnamon, making sure to evenly layer the top of the apples.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, oats, brown sugar, and diced butter.
- Use a pastry cutter or fork to combine the butter, brown sugar, oats and flour until it's crumbly. Evenly pile the topping over the apples.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes until the top is golden brown and the apples are soft.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Serve with ice cream
Notes
You can make this the evening before or the morning of the day you plan to serve it. Take it through step 4 and then cover the apples and streusel topping with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge until ready to bake. Then just remove the plastic wrap and bake.
Always pick a mix of firm apples. This will give you the best taste, especially when combining a tart with a sweet variety.
When making the streusel topping, make sure your butter is cold. This will help the topping to stay crumbly and delicious.
