Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 8 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare filling: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples with granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Toss well to evenly coat the apple slices.
  2. Add water and arrange in baking dish: Pour in the 1/2 cup of water and mix thoroughly. Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  3. Make the crisp topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup flour, quick-cooking oats, packed brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together.
  4. Add melted butter: Pour the melted salted butter over the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and evenly coated.
  5. Assemble and bake: Sprinkle the crumbly topping mixture evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Do not overmix the apple filling once water is added to avoid sogginess.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
  • Can be made ahead up to the baking step and refrigerated overnight.
