Deep Dish Apple Crisp is a delightful dessert that combines tender, cinnamon-spiced apples with a crispy oat topping. Here’s a recipe to make this comforting dessert:
Ingredients:
For the Apple Filling:
- 8 cups apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (use a mix of Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or other baking apples)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Make the Crisp Topping:
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the melted butter over the oat mixture and stir until well combined and crumbly.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish, covering it completely.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the apple filling is bubbling and the crisp topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Allow the deep dish apple crisp to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
