Description
My one-and-only apple crisp recipe! Tender jammy honeycrisp apples under a blanket of buttery brown sugar oat topping. The perfect fall treat!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
Apples:
- 6 cups diced apples (I use 4-5 large Honeycrisp, unpeeled)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Topping:
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted (1 stick)
- 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix Apple Filling: Toss diced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a large bowl until well-coated. Transfer to a 9×9 baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
- Mix Topping: Mix melted butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Stir together with a spoon or fork. If needed, use your hands to bring the mixture together into a crumble; distribute evenly over the apples in the pan.
- Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the apples are plenty bubbly and jammy-looking around the edges, and the topping is golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Let stand for 10-15 minutes, so the apple layer can cool and thicken slightly. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
This can work with or without peeling the apples. Personally, I don’t peel the apples – I am lazy, and I just can’t be bothered to mess with what is already a perfectly good fruit. The peels cook down the same way the apples do, so they become soft and unobtrusive in the apple crisp.
