Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 5 cups fresh apples, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumble Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until all apple slices are evenly coated with the mixture. Then pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Make the crumble topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour the melted butter into the bowl and stir well until the mixture becomes crumbly and well coated with butter.
- Assemble and bake: Sprinkle the oat crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the apple crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your delicious comforting dessert!
