Fall isn't complete in our home without at least one batch of apple crisp, and this one is too good not to share. Filled with crisp sweet apples & topped with an overload of oats + butter, this is a feel-good comfort food that you'll be glad you added to your Fall traditions this October. The best part? Leftovers make for a pretty lovely breakfast the next morning. Oh, and did I mention its so easy you could probably make it in your sleep? Double win.
fall afternoon apple crisp
what you'll need
apple filling
5-6 cups of firm, tart apples -- approximately 8-12 apples depending on size // Granny Smith is traditional but I used Honeycrisp because its what I had on hand and loved it
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4-1/2 cup brown sugar // Adjust according to preferences; I didn't want it to be too sweet so I only used 1/4 cup but if your apples are extra tart, you'll want more
oat crumble topping
3 cups of rolled oats // I use TJ's gluten free oats & like a good, rich topping but if you want it lighter, you can do 2 cups of oats
1 cup of flour // I use Cup4Cup Gluten Free Flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup of cold butter [1 stick]
1 TBSP cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
9x13 glass baking dish
softened butter to coat baking dish
what you'll do
» preheat oven to 350 degrees + lightly coat baking dish with [room temperature] butter
» peel + thinly slice apples
» toss apples with 2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 cup brown sugar
» pour apple filling into baking dish
assemble your topping:
» in a large mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt
» cut in cold butter to create a crumble // I cube my cold stick of butter before cutting it in
» spread oat topping evenly over apple filling
» bake 35-45 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly
» remove, let cool just slightly, cut + serve warm with homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
enjoy!
That looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
