This Apple Crisp Recipe is the ultimate fall classic, combining warm, gooey cinnamon apples with a crunchy oat-pecan topping. It’s an easy, comforting dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- 13x9-inch metal baking pan.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 3 pounds Golden Delicious apples (or Honeycrisp, Braeburn as alternatives) peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, cut into pieces , plus 1 tablespoon, softened, for the baking dish
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon powder
For the Crisp:
- 125 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 80 g ( 1 cup) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 150 g (¾ cup) packed brown sugar. Reduce to 100g (½ cup) for less sweetness, or increase to 200g (1 cup) for more sweetness.
- 50 g (½ cup) pecans, finely chopped (you can substitute with walnuts or sliced almonds) , optional
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons lightly softened unsalted butter cut the cutter into six pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Butter 13x9-inch metal baking pan.
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into ¾-inch chunks. Toss them with lemon juice, sugar, salt, flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Transfer the apples to the prepared baking dish. Dot the top with the cold butter pieces.
- Prepare the topping. In a large bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, and chopped pecans. Add softened butter. Use your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until evenly moistened. The mixture should hold its shape when squeezed.
- Squeeze small clumps of the topping in your hand and scatter them evenly over the apples, breaking up any large pieces.
- Bake until the topping is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling around the edges, about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Storage, Make Ahead, & Freezing
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Place the desired amount of apple crisp in a small oven-safe dish and bake it in the oven at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, microwave it in a microwave-safe dish for 1 to 2 minutes or until hot.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare this up to 1 hour in advance. After baking, cover it with foil and keep it in the oven at a low temperature (200°F) until ready to serve.
- Freezing: The baked crisp can be frozen, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. Before serving, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat, uncovered, in a 300°F (150°C) oven until warmed through and the topping is crisp again.
