Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 cups apples peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Large bowl
  • Peeler
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. In the same bowl (no need to wash), combine 1 cup of flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon for the topping.
  5. Add the cold butter pieces to the topping mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  8. Let the apple crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
