How to Make this Easy Apple Crisp
Perhaps the best part about this iconic dessert is how easy it is to make. Here’s how to do it:
Heat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Combine Dry Ingredients for Topping: Add all of the dry topping ingredients (everything but the butter) to a medium-sized bowl and stir to combine.
Add Butter & Set Aside: Use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and comes together. Set it aside while you make the filling.
Make Filling: Combine all of the ingredients for the filling and stir until the apples are well coated, then pour the mixture into an 8 or 9 inch square dish.
Add Topping: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
Bake: Bake the crisp for about 40 minutes, until the topping is golden around the edges and the apples are tender.
Let Cool: Allow your apple crisp to cool for about 15 minutes prior to serving it.
Tips for Success
Peel the Apples: I don’t recommend leaving the skin on your apples. It changes the texture of the filling, and the skin tends to separate from the apples during the baking process.
Thin & Even Apple Slices are Key: Slicing your apples thinly ensures that they will soften through. If some pieces are larger than others, they won’t all cook nice and evenly.
Keep the Butter Cold: Don’t leave the butter out at room temperature before you start on your topping. If it’s too warm, the topping will get clumpy.
