π» There's nothing like pulling an apple dessert out of the oven to draw everyone into the kitchen. Who can resist the sweet aroma of a baked Apple Crisp?
Ingredients for the Best Apple Crisp
Apples β we used golden delicious apples, but there are so many that would work well (see list of options below)
Lemon juice β keeps the apples from browning and adds flavor
Sugar β adjust to taste depending on how tart your apples are
Flour β helps to thicken the bubbly apple juices. You can substitute with corn starch for a gluten-free version.
Cinnamon β our favorite complimentary spice for apple recipes
For the Apple Crisp Topping
Flour β bonds the crumb together
Oats β add a crisp and chewy texture to the topping
Sugar β we combine brown sugar and granulated sugar
Cinnamon β compliments the apple filling
Salt β balances the sweetness
Butter β use 1 cup or 16 Tbsp of unsalted, softened butter.
The Best Apples for Apple Crisp
Select firm and crisp apples so they wonβt get mushy in the oven. Apples vary a ton in sweetness so adjust sugar accordingly. We used golden delicious here with 3/4 cup of sugar. If using Granny Smith Apples, increase the sugar to 1 cup or add it to taste. Here are our favorite apples for baking:
Golden Delicious
Granny Smith
Fuji
Honeycrisp
Jonagold
Braeburn
Pink Lady
Pro Tip: you can use an assortment of apples and even combine sweet and tart apples.
How to Make Apple Crisp
Prep β Butter a 9Γ13 casserole dish, preheat oven to 375ΛF.
Cut Apples β peel, core and slice apples into 1/4β³- thick pieces (an apple peeler makes it easy), transfer to a bowl, and toss with 2 Tbsp lemon juice.
Coat Apples β in a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon then sprinkle over apples and stir to coat. Transfer to buttered casserole dish.
Topping β In a mixing bowl, combine the dry topping ingredients: flour, oats, both sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Add diced softened butter and use your hands to stir in the butter until pea-sized crumbs form throughout. Spread topping evenly over your apples.
Bake β place on the center rack in the oven and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until bubbling at the edges.
