This easy apple crisp recipe is a comforting fall dessert featuring tender, spiced apples and a buttery, crumbly topping. Perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy evening treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith and Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples to about 1/4-inch thick. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice to the apples. Toss until evenly coated. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In another mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish, covering the apples completely.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. Cover loosely with aluminum foil if the topping browns too quickly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use a mix of apple varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for the best flavor.’, ‘Ensure butter is cold when making the topping for a crumbly texture.’, ‘Cover loosely with foil if the topping browns too quickly.’, ‘Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.’, ‘Don’t skip the lemon juice in the filling to brighten flavors and prevent browning.’]
