Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or cooking spray, then spread the apple mixture evenly in the skillet.
In a separate bowl, prepare the crisp topping by combining rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold diced butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the skillet.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the apple crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
