Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice your apples into even pieces. Toss them with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a large bowl to evenly coat and let the flavors meld.
  2. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Cut the cold butter into the mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it forms coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Transfer the spiced apple mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping generously over the apples. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and tender.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the Apple Crisp to cool for about 15 minutes to let the juices thicken before scooping. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Mix tart and sweet apple varieties for balanced flavor and texture.
  • Keep butter cold to ensure a crunchy topping.
  • Handle the crumble topping gently to maintain a flaky texture.
  • Bake until the topping is golden and filling bubbles for perfect softness.
  • Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for best enjoyment.
