Description
A warm and comforting apple crisp with a buttery cinnamon topping, perfect for fall and best served with ice cream.
Ingredients
6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 tsp salt
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour.
3. Spread apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
4. In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and salt.
5. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over the apples.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.
8. Cool slightly before serving with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Granny Smith apples are great for tartness, but Honeycrisp or Fuji work for a sweeter crisp.
Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.
Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep the topping crisp.
