Apple Crisp

This easy apple crisp recipe combines warm gooey cinnamon apples with a buttery oat brown sugar topping. 

We visited family in Idaho over the holidays, and my sister-in-law made us the best apple crisp recipe from Belle of the Kitchen for dessert. The classic old-fashioned apple crisp was full of cinnamon apples and topped with a decadent oat and brown sugar topping and it was rich, decadent, and very delicious. I knew my kids would love it so I made it for them when we returned home and they enjoyed it warm served with vanilla ice cream. Thanks for the recipe, Trina!

Apple Crisp

Oat Topping:

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Apple Filling:

• 5½-6 cups Honeycrisp apples, sliced into same-sized pieces (about 5 large apples)
• 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

How to Make an Apple Crisp

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a deep baking dish with butter.

Make the oat topping by combining the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well-coated and crumbly.

Make the apple filling by combining the sliced apples with the sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix until the apples are evenly coated.

Pour the cinnamon apples into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the top of the apples.

Bake the apple crisp for 45-55 minutes (depending on the thickness of your slices), until the fruit is soft and the topping is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
