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: Begin by heating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep-dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set it aside.
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the apple slices are evenly coated.
- Make the Topping: In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly.
- Assemble and Bake: Spread the apple mixture in your prepared dish, then sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. For a truly delightful treat, enjoy your apple crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Slice apples evenly for best texture. Cover with foil if the topping browns too fast. Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
