What You Want

You can also make this recipe with a couple of pantry staples (butter, sugar, flour, and many others.). Truthfully, isn’t that a part of what makes consolation meals so good?

• Apples. Much like my apple pie recipe, I like to recommend utilizing granny smith apples for this recipe. A agency, tart apple works properly right here, however it’s also possible to use a semisweet apple, like gala or honeycrisp (these are additionally nice for making apple dumplings, so in case you have any leftovers, attempt that recipe!). I usually want about 7 small apples to get 2 cups.
• Oats. We’ll be utilizing quaint rolled oats at present, identical to when making my oatmeal raisin cookies. Truthfully, I even assume the crisp a part of this recipe even tastes like a crumbled oatmeal cookie!
• Brown sugar. I add gentle brown sugar to each the apples and the crisp elements of this recipe. Darkish brown sugar may work too, however the taste will probably be richer.
• Cinnamon. Apples and cinnamon go collectively like peanut butter and jelly–we merely can’t make apple crisp with out it! I add cinnamon to the apples and the crisp for additional taste.
• Melted butter. Should you’ve made my streusel recipe, you understand how a lot of a recreation changer melted butter might be when making a crumb topping! As we speak’s crisp is not any totally different. Not solely is that this technique a lot simpler than utilizing chilly butter and a pastry cutter, but it surely additionally yields a extra buttery taste!

SAM’S TIP: This recipe was designed for a tart or candy/tart apple, so in the event you use sweeter apples, remember the fact that this can lead to a sweeter crisp.

The way to Make Apple Crisp

1. Toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Set this apart whilst you put together your crisp. It will begin to break down the apples a bit and make them juicy, very like macerating strawberries.
2. Whisk collectively the melted butter and vanilla extract, then set this apart.
3. Stir the flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon collectively in a big bowl, then drizzle the melted butter combination overtop. Toss this combination along with a fork till it’s clumpy, however don’t go too far that you just flip it right into a paste.
4. Stir the apples another time earlier than transferring them right into a buttered 9×9 or 11×7 baking dish.
5. Scatter the crisp evenly overtop, then bake at 375F for 50 minutes or till the apples are tender and the topping is a light-weight golden brown. You possibly can cowl the crisp with foil if it begins to get too darkish whereas baking.
6. Serve heat with vanilla ice cream, and revel in!

SAM’S TIP: Crisp just isn’t the identical factor as cobbler! Crisps typically have a crumblier, crispier topping that’s made primarily of butter, sugar, and oats (although some sources argue that crumbles have oats while crisps never do, I disagree). Cobblers have a biscuit-like topping that appears like cobbled highway. Should you’d wish to make apple cobbler as an alternative, you may at all times make the apple base from this recipe and the cobbler topping from my blueberry cobbler. I’d advocate baking as instructed in that recipe for greatest outcomes.
