This recipe provides a simple, quick method for making a comforting apple crisp with tender spiced apples and a buttery brown sugar oat topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cardamom.
  4. Cut the cold butter pieces into the dry topping mixture using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of apples.
  • Serve this dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
  • You can prepare the topping mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to one day.
