Apple crisp is one of my favorite things in the whole world. It brings me back to the fall seasons I experienced growing up in Pennsylvania. How does that Christmas song "Home for the Holidays" go again? Oh yeah: Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie. Did you just sing that as you read that, too?! Yes, I have been listening to Christmas music for the last couple of weeks *insert shrugging emoji* Thanksgiving evokes for me memories of pumpkin pies, mile-high apple pies, and warming, filling, yummy, put-the-winter-weight-on foods.
I am here to share with you this yummy recipe for apple crisp that is a shoe-in family approval. Just what you need, another dessert, amiright?!
For the recipe, see below:
Ingredients:
For the apple mixture:
- 4 honey crisp apples
- 2 macintosh apples
- 1 tbsp of cinnamon
- 1/4 c of sugar
- 1 tbsp of flour
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of cornstarch
For the crumble topping:
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1 stick of unsalted butter, cut
- 1/2 tsp of salt
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare a 9x13 baking dish.
- Dice up the apples- I left the skin on for SOME nutritional value to this dessert. You can peel the skins if you prefer to
- With the diced apples in a bowl, add the cinnamon, sugar, flour, salt, and corn starch. Mix everything until well combined. Let the ingredients sit and flavors meld.
- While the apple mixture is resting, prepare the crumble topping. To do so, mix together the flour, oats, white and brown sugar, and salt in a separate bowl from the apples.
- Next, cut the stick of butter into 8 pieces and then cut those pieces in half. You should have 16 pieces of butter.
- Add the butter cubes to a bowl of sugar, flour, and oats. Using a pastry blender or just your hands, crumble the butter into the other ingredients.
- In the 9x13 baking dish, spread the apples as a layer on the bottom of the dish. Next, sprinkle the crumble over the top of the apples, covering them.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes.
What are you planning to bring to your Thanksgiving celebration?! I'd love to know!
