Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 6 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the crisp evenly.
- Prepare the Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon. Stir these dry ingredients together to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Add Butter to the Topping: Pour the melted butter into the oat mixture and stir thoroughly until it forms a crumbly texture that will crisp nicely when baked.
- Assemble the Crisp: Arrange the peeled, cored, and sliced apples evenly in a baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping mixture evenly over the apples, covering them completely.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
Notes
- You can use a mix of apple varieties such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for balance between tartness and sweetness.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the topping adds extra crunch and flavor.
- Make sure the butter is fully melted to help the topping bind properly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
