Description
A classic recipe for Grandma’s Apple Crisp that combines sweet and tart apples with a buttery oat topping. This comforting dessert is perfect for fall gatherings or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Oat Topping:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Transfer to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Make the Oat Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for a more complex flavor—Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are great choices.
