This irresistible apple crisp recipe combines tender baked apples with a buttery oat topping, enhanced by warming spices and a touch of maple syrup for a cozy twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Toss them in a large mixing bowl with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir until evenly coated.
  3. In another mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in melted butter and mix until the topping resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the apples, covering them completely.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. If the topping browns too quickly, cover the dish with foil for the final 10 minutes of baking.
