"Savor the essence of autumn with this warm, bubbling apple crisp featuring tender Honeycrisp apples tossed in aromatic spices. The signature golden-brown topping is made with buttery rolled oats and brown sugar for the ultimate crunch that pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream."

Ingredients

Qty Item
6 cups Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples
0.25 cup Granulated sugar
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Light brown sugar
0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed

How to Make Fall Apple Crisp

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges.

3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the nutmeg until the fruit is evenly coated.

4

Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.

5

In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, light brown sugar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

6

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.

7

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples, covering them completely.

8

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is a deep golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling around the edges.

9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes to let the juices thicken before serving.


Tips for Best Results

  • ·

    Use a mix of tart Granny Smith and sweet Honeycrisp apples for a complex flavor profile.

  • ·

    Ensure your butter is very cold to achieve a crisp, pebbly texture rather than a greasy one.

  • ·

    For an extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the oat topping.

  • ·

    If the topping is browning too quickly, loosely tent the dish with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?
Yes, but the texture will be less chewy and crunchy. Old-fashioned oats are highly recommended for the best results.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to crisp up the topping again.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, simply swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and ensure your oats are certified gluten-free.
Do I have to peel the apples?
Peeling is optional, but it provides a smoother, more refined texture. Leaving the skins on adds a rustic feel and extra nutrients.
