A Delicious Classic Apple Crisp Recipe

I actually did not grow up on apple crisp, my parents were bigger fans of apple pie. Although pie is an American staple, I just absolutely love the crisp oats, buttery-gooey-brown sugar, and melt-in-your-mouth combination of it all paired with homemade whip or ice cream. So. Yum.

You can find the original post when I first shared this recipe, here 🙂 I made a reel more recently, too!

This has become a staple in our home every Autumn, and my kids thoroughly enjoy and love it as well.

Buttery Cinnamon Apple Crisp Recipe

Gather —

For the Apple Filling:

  • 5-6 apples (at least half granny smith), peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • 1/4 c cane sugar
  • 3 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt

For the Crisp Streusel:

  • 3/4 c cold butter, cubed
  • 1 1/2 c old fashioned oats
  • 1 c flour
  • 1/3 c brown sugar
  • 1/3 c cane sugar
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

 

Make —

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Lather your baking dish (I used a pie pan) with butter.

  3. In a large bowl, mix your sugars, corn starch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

  4. Add peeled apple slices to the dry mixture, and stir to fully combine.

  5. Pour your apple filling into your baking dish.

  6. In a separate bowl, make your streusel by using a fork or pastry cutter (or your hands) and mixing your butter, oats, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt.

  7. It should be crumbly. Pour the crumble topping over the apples.

  8. Bake for ~30-40 minutes, checking on your crisp until the top turns golden, and you see some bubbling from the apple filling. Ovens vary!

  9. Serve warm with ice cream or homemade vanilla bean whipped cream
