Ingredients
Scale
- 10 cups Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored and sliced into ⅛ inch thick slices then cut the slices in half)
- ½ cup light brown sugar (tightly packed)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cups quick cooking oats
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar (tightly packed)
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish.
- In a very large mixing bowl, add the apple slices. Stir in the light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Gently fold all ingredients together to coat the apple slices evenly.
- Transfer the apple filling mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it into an even layer without packing it too tightly.
- In another large mixing bowl, combine quick cooking oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir until fully combined.
- Add melted butter to the oat mixture. Mix until all butter is evenly incorporated. Ensure there are no dry pockets of flour remaining.
- Top the apple filling with your prepared crisp topping. Evenly distribute it over the apples so that every bit of filling is covered.
- Bake uncovered for about 40–45 minutes until the topping turns golden brown and juices from the apples become bubbly.
- Once baked, allow your apple crisp to cool on the counter for about five minutes before serving to help thicken those delicious juices.
