Easy Apple Crisp

Easy Apple Crisp 1000 1000 Maddie Augustin

Throw on your favorite sweater and let’s get to some fall-inspired baking! This Easy Apple Crisp will fill your home with warm aromas of sweet cinnamon and peppery nutmeg. This apple crisp is easy because we are leaving the skin on our apples, and we only need one mixing bowl. 

Let’s get cooking! Oh, and don’t forget to sip on a rich Tawny Port while you’re cooking to get you in the mood for this decadent dessert.

Ingredients

Crisp

  • ¾  cup oats
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 stick butter, cold
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Pinch sea salt

Filling

  • 6 cups apples
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Cut apples into roughly ½ inch chunks, removing the core. Juice lemon, removing any seeds. 
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, maple syrup, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Combine everything until the apples are evenly coated and dump into a 12-inch cast iron.
  3. Add the flour to the same mixing bowl used for the apples. Cut the butter into pea-sized pieces and mix until the butter is coated and distributed. Add the oats, brown sugar, water, and sea salt and combine until a loose crumble forms.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the apples and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly on the sides and the crisp is deeply golden.
  5. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
