Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Spread the spiced apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, oats, and chopped nuts.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the topping mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the Apple Nut Crunch to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
