Ingredients
- 4 pounds apples (peeled, cored and sliced)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg optional
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- CRISP TOPPING:
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cup old fashioned oats
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9×9” baking dish, set aside.
Make Crisp Topping
- Place softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and sea salt in a medium sized bowl. Use your hands, a fork or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with buttery chunks.
- Add oats and stir until evenly combined, set aside.
Make the Apple Filling
- Place the peeled and cored apples in a microwave safe dish and heat for 6 minutes, until apples are slightly soft.
- While apples are in the microwave, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
- When apples are finished cooking in the microwave, put them in a colander to drain excess water. Let them cool and drain in the colander for at least 10 minutes.
- Transfer cooled & drained apples to a bowl, add lemon juice, then dry ingredient mixture and stir until mixture is homogenous (uniform throughout).
Assemble the Apple Crisp
- Place apple crisp filling into the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly sprinkle crisp topping over apple crisp filling.
Bake & Cool
- Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve in small bowls topped with your favorite vanilla ice cream!
