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
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
-
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.
-
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.
-
Assemble: Spread the topping mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
-
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
-
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.
