Description
Warm apples baked under a buttery cinnamon-oat topping — a classic comfort dessert perfect for any occasion, especially during the fall season.
Ingredients
Filling:
- 6 apples, sliced
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup cold butter, cubed
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the crisp evenly.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. This mixture combines sweetness with a hint of tartness and warm spice to create the base of the crisp.
- Make Topping: In another bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly.
- Assemble: Spread the apple mixture evenly in a baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbly oat topping evenly over the apples to cover them completely.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly and tender.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an extra delightful experience.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness.
- This dessert can be prepared a few hours ahead and baked just before serving.
