About this simple recipe:
This is a classic fall dessert that will take center stage at any gathering or holiday dinner.
It is easy enough to enjoy even on a weeknight because it can be thrown together so quickly. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples like brown sugar, old fashioned oats, cinnamon and flour. Just toss in your favorite apples, bake and enjoy with ice cream and a glass of hot apple cider.
Ingredients in Classic Apple Crisp:
- Apples- use apples like Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Fuji, Crispin, Cosmic Crisp, Granny Smith. All of these have intense apple flavor, produce juice and hold their shapes while baking.
- lemon juice- always use fresh
- cinnamon
- Vanilla Extract- purchase our premium small batch vanilla extract HERE.
- kosher salt
- light brown sugar
- flour
- old fashioned oats- these hold their shape rather than quick oats which can become mushy during baking
- butter
- walnuts- use the freshest walnuts you can find. Allergic to nuts? You can omit them from the recipe.
Special equipment needed for this recipe:
- large baking pan- 9″ x 13″ or 3.5- 4 quart baking dish
- sharp pairing knife for peeling and chopping the apples. THIS is my favorite pairing knife set.
- large mixing bowl- buy my favorite bowls HERE.
