Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of flour to the apples. Toss everything together until the apples are well-coated. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In another bowl, combine the oats, 1/2 cup of flour, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the oat mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vanilla extract, then evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
