Old Fashioned Apple Crisp
Buttery brown sugar and oat topping over sweet baked apples adds up to the perfect easy apple crisp recipe. Topped with vanilla ice cream this is a classic dessert that's great for any occasion.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 thinly sliced apples, about 6 cups worth
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Topping Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour *
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup softened butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a small baking dish with butter, 8, 9, or 10 inch pans will all work great. Place the sliced apples in the baking dish. Sprinkle with ¼ cup brown sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Toss with your hands.
- Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for the topping in a medium-size bowl. Add the softened butter and blend with a fork, spoon, or your fingers until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the topping over the apples and bake for 30-32 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
If when you add the butter to the dry topping ingredients it is not soft enough to easily mix into crumbs, you can place the whole bowl (dry ingredients and butter both) in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, just long enough to soften the butter and make it easy to blend into crumbs for the topping.
* Oat flour may be substituted for the all-purpose flour listed in the recipe for a gluten-free variation.
