Ingredients
- 6 cups of sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and vanilla extract. Make sure the apple slices are evenly coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, cold butter cubes, and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is pea-sized.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let the spiced apple crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Helpful Tips
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the oat mixture. If you prefer a less sweet crisp, you can reduce the amount of sugar used in the apple mixture or the topping.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm.
Pairings
