Ingredients

  • Filling
  • 8 medium peeled apples cut into 1-inch chunks (about 10 cups, or 1200g, chunks)
  • 1/2 cup 100g packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup 31g all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Topping
  • 3/4 cup 94g all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 3/4 cup 150g packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup 113g unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup 85g old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • Optional: salted caramel and vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar-sized pan.
  • Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple chunks with brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • Make the topping: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until crumbly. Stir in the oats.
  • Assemble the crisp: Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
  • Cool and serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. For extra indulgence, drizzle with salted caramel or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
