This Cozy Cinnamon Sugar Apple Crisp with Oat Crumble is the perfect balance of tender, spiced apples underneath a golden, crunchy oat topping that gets caramelized around the edges. It’s simple enough for a Tuesday night but impressive enough for a Friendsgiving gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp recommended)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the rack in the center of the oven. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into even ¼-inch thick pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until every apple slice is coated. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, ¾ cup flour, brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  5. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the top. Do not press it down.
  6. Place the dish on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the filling is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown and firm to the touch. If the topping is browning too quickly around the 30-minute mark, tent loosely with foil.
  7. Let the crisp rest for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best texture, use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples. Keep the butter cold for a crumbly topping. Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set. If using a glass baking dish, add 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
