Ingredients
For The Filling
- 8-10 cups sliced apples peeled & cored first (roughly 9-10 large apples)
- scant 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
For The Streusel Topping
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1 stick butter cut into 1" pieces
Instructions
Making The Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, add all of the filling ingredients and toss until evenly combined.
- Lightly spray a 9x13" baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Pour the apple filling mixture into the dish, and spread them out evenly.
Making The Streusel Topping
- Add the flour, oats, brown sugar, and nutmeg to a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together until evenly combined.
- Add the butter pieces to the mixing bowl, and use a pastry cutter to blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly out over the prepared apple filling.
- Bake the apple crisp at 375° for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling's thickened & bubbling.
- Let the cooked apple crisp rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
