Apple Crisp
Apple Crisp is a delicious fall treat. Sliced apples get baked with a topping of oats, brown sugar and butter to make a sweet and crispy fall dessert.
Ingredients
- 6 cups apples, peeled and sliced, about 5 large apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and softened
Instructions
- Place the apple slices in a large bowl and add the lemon juice. Toss to coat. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Pour the apples into a greased 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir in the butter until well mixed. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples and bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes. The crisp is done when the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling on the bottom.
- Remove the crisp from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream for a delicious fall dessert.
Equipment
- 1 8x8-inch baking dish, sprayed with cooking spray
Notes
What are the best apples for baking?
The most important ingredient in this recipe is, of course, the apples. Pick apples that are firm, sweet and slightly tart. Honeycrisp, Fuji, Jonathan and Gala apples are all a great choice, as they hold up well to baking. These apples keep their shape, whereas some varieties, like McIntosh, will break down pretty quickly, making it a good apple for applesauce. My favorite apples for this recipe are Honeycrisp and Galas. They hold up to heat and are delicious. Granny Smith apples can also be used if you like a very tart apple. These apples are usually used for baking pies.
