If fall had a taste, this might be it. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of just good, old-fashioned apple crisp. A buttery oat crust blankets a warm, cinnamon-y pile of baked apples.
Tried and true, super easy and sooo good, this is the kind of recipe you’ll make and crave forever.
Serve it with some great vanilla ice cream and you will be the family’s super hero.
We are cinnamon fans at this house so to any recipes that I would add cinnamon, I add a LOT of cinnamon. Don’t be surprised when I tell you to add 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon along with 2 Tablespoons of flour and about 3/4 c. of sugar to the apples and mix it all up well.
Now, slowly pour 1/2 c. of water over the apples.
Pour the topping over the apples. Bake the whole thing at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the whole house smells like heaven.
Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream, and maybe give me a call. I may want a bite.
- About 12 tart apples
- ¾ sugar
- 2 T. flour
- 1 T. cinnamon
- ½ c. water
- 1 c. old-fashioned oats
- 1 c. flour
- 1 c. brown sugar
- ¾ c. butter
- Peel and slice apples and place them in a buttered 9x13" baking dish.
- Add cinnamon, flour, and sugar and mix it well.
- Slowly pour ½ c. water over the apple mixture.
- Use a mixer or pastry cutter to cut the cold butter into the oats, brown sugar, and flour until the butter is the size of peas. Refrigerate the topping for at least 20 minutes to chill the butter.
- Pour the topping over the apples.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbly.
Comfort food to the MAX!!
This is so on the list to make this weekend for our dropping temps and impending snow.
