Ingredients

  • 10 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place the sliced apples into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples, then drizzle the water across the top.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, remaining flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Pour the melted butter into the oat mixture and stir with a fork until crumbly and well combined.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples, covering the entire surface.
  7. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the apples are bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp around the edges.
  8. Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Chefs Notes

  • Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji apples work especially well in this recipe.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the apple filling.
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts can be mixed into the topping for added crunch.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
