Description
This classic apple crisp is the ultimate rustic comfort dessert. Featuring tender, cinnamon-spiced Granny Smith apples topped with a crunchy, buttery oat crumble, it offers a perfect balance of textures. It is the ideal foolproof autumn treat that delivers rich, fruit-filled flavor without the fuss of a traditional pie crust.
Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch wedges
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform wedges.
Combine apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture into a 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple base.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
Notes
Ensure butter is kept cold for the best crumble texture. Use fresh cinnamon for maximum potency. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel.
