Baked Apple Crisp
This baked apple crisp features perfectly spiced apples, topped with a buttery, crispy mixture that creates a delightful contrast in texture. It's warm, comforting, and bursting with flavors that remind you of grandma's kitchen. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a true taste of fall.
Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread the mixture evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving. It's delightful on its own or topped with ice cream for a comforting dessert.
Notes
For extra crunch, add ½ cup of oats or chopped nuts to the topping. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
