Ingredients
Scale
- Apple Filling:
- 10 cups Granny Smith apples (about 7–8 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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, making sure to distribute the slices for even cooking.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
- 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.
- Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This cooling time helps the filling set slightly, making it easier to serve.
