Description
A quintessential autumn dessert featuring a comforting blend of tender, spiced Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples topped with a buttery, crunchy oat streusel. This classic treat balances the tartness of fresh orchard fruit with the rich, caramelized warmth of cinnamon and brown sugar. Perfect for any home baker, this recipe achieves a restaurant-quality contrast between the soft, spiced filling and the golden, crispy topping that defines an authentic Dutch apple crisp.
Ingredients
4 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 cups Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine sliced apples with two tablespoons of sugar and one teaspoon of cinnamon in a large bowl.
Toss until evenly coated and transfer to a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
Use a pastry cutter to press the butter into the mixture until coarse crumbs form.
Spread the streusel topping evenly over the apple layer in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the butter remains cold while working it into the dry ingredients to guarantee a crunchy streusel topping. You can serve this warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent experience.
