Easy Apple Crisp Dessert

Kendra Boettner
This easy apple crisp dessert is a cozy fall favorite. Tender cinnamon-spiced apples baked beneath a buttery oat crumble that’s golden and crisp. Simple enough for a weeknight, but warm and nostalgic enough for gatherings, it’s the perfect way to celebrate apple season. Serve it with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of homemade caramel sauce for a dessert that feels like fall in every bite.

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 9x13 baking dish
  • 2 large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients
  

Topping

  • 1 cup oats quick cooking
  • 1 cup flour all purpose
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup butter room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Apple Filling

  • 10 honey crisp apples large
  • 1 ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon all spice

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large bowl half way with cold water and juice of one lemon. Peel and slice all apples, place into lemon water as completed to prevent browning.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt by hand until coarse crumbles form. Set mixture aside.
  • Drain apples and return to mixing bowl. Add sugar, flour and all spices and toss to coat apples evenly.
  • Pour apple mixture into bottom of prepared baking dish. Top with crumble mixture evenly.
  • Bake in preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, until filling is bubbling and topping is golden brown.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for the topping. Cold butter melts slowly, creating steam pockets that make the crumble golden and crisp instead of greasy or heavy.
  • Mix apple varieties for the best flavor. A blend of tart and sweet apples (like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp) gives balance and texture that hold up beautifully in baking.
  • Bake until the center bubbles. That bubbling tells you the filling has thickened properly and the starches in the flour have set.
  • Cool slightly before serving. It lets the juices settle so every serving holds together while still being perfectly warm and cozy.
