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: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all apple slices are evenly coated. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and evenly coated.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the apple crisp cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- Slice apples evenly to ensure uniform baking; about 1/2 inch thick slices are ideal.
- If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking until apples are soft.
- Optional: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra texture (avoid if allergies are a concern).
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce for enhanced flavor.
