Description
A quintessential American comfort dessert, this Dutch Apple Crisp features tender, cinnamon-spiced Granny Smith apples topped with a thick, golden-brown, buttery streusel crust. The perfect balance of tart fruit and caramelized sweetness makes this an irresistible seasonal treat that maintains its satisfying crunch long after baking. It is a foolproof recipe that pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate rustic experience.
Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced thinly
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine sliced apples with granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, and brown sugar.
Incorporate the cold butter cubes into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until a coarse, crumbly texture forms.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apple base.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Notes
Use cold butter to ensure the topping stays crisp. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of almond flour. Always serve warm for the best texture and flavor contrast.
