Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 8 medium apples peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 10 cups)
  • 1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar packed (100g)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour spooned & leveled (31g)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour spooned & leveled (94g)
  • 3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar packed (150g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed (8 Tbsp; 113g)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned whole rolled oats (85g)
  • optional salted caramel and vanilla ice cream for serving

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan (or 3.5-4-quart baking dish)
  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Any 3.5-4-quart baking dish works.
  2. Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl, then spread the mixture into the baking pan.
  3. Make the topping: Whisk the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture becomes very crumbly. Stir in the oats. Sprinkle the topping over the filling.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges. Remove the crisp from the oven, place it on a wire rack, and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold; plain or with salted caramel and/or vanilla ice cream.
  5. Cover leftovers and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
