Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp preferred)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch or similarly sized baking dish and set aside.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the apples. Toss the apples gently to coat them evenly. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish, making sure it covers the apples completely.
Place the baking dish 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 apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect dessert.
