Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 5 cups fresh apples, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make Topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is well coated and crumbly.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the fruit is soft and the topping is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. For best flavor, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- Slice your apples evenly to ensure even baking; approximately 1/2 inch thick slices work best.
- To prevent over-browning of the topping, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil if it browns too quickly while the apples are still cooking.
- Optional: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra texture, but avoid if there are nut allergies.
- Serving suggestion: Delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
