Apple crisp is quick and easy to throw together and can feed a crowd. I like to make mine with a lot of warm spices. I recently invited friends over for dinner and served this for dessert. I was in such a rush, I didn’t take as many pictures as I would have liked. Oops. It was a big hit, though!
This recipe is a combination of several others, but the topping mainly comes from allrecipes.com.

Steps

45 minutes

1

Make the topping first. Combine all the topping ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with a large spoon until everything is well blended.
2

Place topping in the fridge for up to 30 minutes while you prepare the filling. Doing this makes the topping easier to crumble and allows you to form larger chunks.
3

Start preheating the oven to 375°F.
4

Peel and slice enough apples to fill a 9 x 13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan a little over 3/4 full.
5

Transfer apples to a large bowl and add the remaining filling ingredients. Use a spoon to initially mix everything, then toss using your hands so all the apples are evenly coated.
6

Transfer apples and any juices in the bowl back to the 9x13” pan. Retrieve topping from fridge, and scatter it over the top, ensuring equal coverage over all the apples.
7

Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes:
🍎. Use a mixture of apples for optimal flavor. I used Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Cosmic crisp. Other good options are Yellow Delicious, Macintosh, and Braeburn.
🍎. You’ll need 8 to12 apples (it depends on how big the apples are).
🍎. This recipe can easily be made gluten free (GF) by using gluten-free flour. I used a 1:1 baking flour from Bob’s Red Mill to make a GF version.
🍎. If you are not fond of sweet toppings, decrease the amount of brown sugar by about a quarter.
