Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 scoop per serving Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Place them into the greased baking dish.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples to prevent browning. Sprinkle the granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the apples, and toss to combine evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir the vanilla extract into the crumb mixture for added flavor. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the prepared apples in the baking dish.
Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the Alexis Apple Crunch from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Optional: Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for the ultimate dessert experience.
