Ingredients
- 5-6 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a rustic pie dish with butter.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cornstarch. Ensure the apples are well coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, covering them completely.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
- Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Helpful Tips
For a nutty twist, add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought apple pie filling. Leftover crisp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
