Ingredients

Scale
  • Apple Filling:
    • 10 cups Granny Smith apples (about 78 apples)
    • ½ cup light brown sugar
    • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Crisp Topping:
    • 1⅓ cups quick-cooking oats
    • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup light brown sugar
    • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • ¾ cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the following for the apple filling:
    • 10 cups sliced Granny Smith apples
    • ½ cup light brown sugar
    • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    Gently fold the ingredients together until the apple slices are thoroughly coated. The flour will help thicken the juices released during baking.

  3. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, making sure to distribute the slices for even cooking.
  4. For the crisp topping, combine the following in a separate mixing bowl:
    • 1⅓ cups quick-cooking oats
    • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup light brown sugar
    • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp baking powder

    Mix these dry ingredients well. Then, add ¾ cup melted unsalted butter and stir until everything is evenly combined. The mixture will be crumbly.

  5. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. The apple crisp is done when the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly. You may want to check on it halfway through to avoid over-browning.
  7. Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This cooling time helps the filling set slightly, making it easier to serve.
