Apple Crisp Recipe

This simple apple crisp combines sweet, tender apples with a delightful crunchy topping, perfect for cozy fall evenings and gatherings.

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 6 cups sliced apples (about 6 medium apples)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

For the crisp topping:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• ½ cup milk

• 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. Prepare the Apples: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread the mixture evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

3. Make the Topping: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs. Gently mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until combined.

4. Assemble: Spread the topping mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.

5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.

6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This apple crisp is delightful on its own, but it’s even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips

• Apple Variety: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples, like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for added depth of flavour.

• Make Ahead: You can prepare the apple filling and topping in advance; just assemble and bake when ready to serve.
