Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp suggested)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Vanilla wafer cookies (crushed)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the crushed Nilla wafer cookies, brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the topping is well-combined and crumbly.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra decadence.
