Description
This classic homemade apple crisp features tender, cinnamon-spiced fruit topped with a perfectly buttery, crunchy oat streusel. Combining Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples creates a delightful balance of tart and sweet, while the precise ratio of oats, flour, and brown sugar ensures a golden-brown topping that remains wonderfully crisp. It is a timeless, reliable dessert that brings the warmth of orchard flavors to your table throughout the year.
Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples
6 large Honeycrisp apples
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel and slice the apples into uniform half-inch thick pieces.
Toss apple slices with granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased nine-inch baking dish.
Combine oats, flour, and brown sugar in a separate medium bowl.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until crumbly.
Distribute the topping evenly over the prepared apple base.
Bake for 45 minutes until the fruit bubbles and the top is golden brown.
Cool the dish for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is kept cold until the moment you cut it into the oat mixture to achieve the best texture. Do not use instant oats as they will lose their crunch during the baking process. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
