Old-fashioned Apple Crisp is a simple yet indulgent dessert recipe that everyone will adore! Fresh apples are baked until tender with cinnamon, sugar, and a buttery, rolled oat topping. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and watch it disappear!
Ingredients
- 8 cups peeled and thinly sliced fresh apples
- ½ cup granulated sugar, or brown sugar
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter an 9x9 baking pan, and set aside.
- Mix the apples, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Pour the apple mixture onto the prepared pan and set aside.
- In the same large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, remaining ½ cup flour, butter, and remaining teaspoon of cinnamon, until it forms a wet, clumpy mixture. Add the oats and stir to form a coarse mixture. I find it easiest to do this with my hands.
- Crumble the oats on top of the apples in an even layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the oats start to turn a light golden color around the edges. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes to cool and set up. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes
Storage: Apple crisp will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To reheat, place the crisp in an oven-safe dish and bake at 400°F until heated through. Or microwave individual servings in 30 second bursts.
Prep Ahead: Prepare the crisp, but do not bake. Instead, wrap with Saran Wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Remove 30 minutes to up to an hour before you are ready to bake the crisp and set it on the counter to warm up a little. Preheat your oven and bake as directed in the recipe.
Make Ahead: Bake crisp as directed and let cool. If you are serving in the next couple of hours, feel free to leave it resting at room temperature. Then reheat the entire crisp in the oven at 400°F for about 8 minutes, until warmed through. Or reheat individual servings in the microwave.
9x13: Need to double this recipe? No problem! Double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 casserole dish. Watch the baking time, but expect to need an additional 10 minutes of bake time.
Gluten Free: Use a reputable, gluten-free, all-purpose flour blend, instead of the regular flour, for the streusel topping. Skip the flour added into the peaches and add an extra 2 teaspoons of cornstarch instead. The texture of the topping may be slightly different, but the results will still be scrumptious!
