I have been making this specific apple crisp for years, and it always finds its way onto my table once the autumn air turns crisp. It is a simple, rustic dessert that tastes like a warm hug, especially when the cinnamon and sugar start filling up the house while it bakes.

What makes this recipe special is the contrast between the jammy, softened apples on the bottom and the heavy, buttery crumble on top. I love using a cast iron skillet for this to give it an extra homey feel, but any square baking dish will do the job perfectly.

Ingredients

6 cups diced apples (about 4 to 5 large Honeycrisp, unpeeled)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

7Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2
In a large bowl, toss the diced apples with the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and the first tablespoon of flour until everything is evenly coated.
3
Pour the apple mixture into a 9x9 baking dish or a cast iron skillet.
4
In a separate bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, remaining flour, oats, vanilla, and salt. Use a spoon or your hands to create a nice, crumbly texture.
5
Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
6
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and you can see the apple juices bubbling up around the edges.
7
Remove from the oven and let the crisp sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the filling can thicken up.

Tips

Serve this warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick treat the next day.
