Apple Crisp

OK so this recipe is one that I had made a million years ago, loved, and then forgot where I had found it. For years it was lost in the wilds of the internet, causing me to turn to other, lesser apple crisp recipes, but it has finally made its way home. Welcome home, Crisp. UPDATE April 7 2020 - We found this was too sweet so I reduced the sugar from 1 cup to 3/4 cup in both the apples and topping.

VERY GOOD APPLE CRISP

Ingredients

  • 10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced (I like granny smith apples which are not as sweet as other apples and stay firm when cooked)
  • 3/4 cup white sugar (can reduce if using sweeter apples)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).
  2. Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan.
  3. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples.
  4. Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 - 45 minutes, until apples are cooked and top is browning.
