Apple Crisp Recipe with Oats

This apple crisp recipe with oats has sweet tender apples and a crisp and crunchy topping made with flour, oats, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. Adam likes his apple crisp with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and I love an even bigger scoop of whipped cream. Either way, it’s delicious.

Making Our Apple Crisp Recipe with Oats

When making our apple crisp with oats recipe, we use Granny Smith apples. They’re tart and firm, but you could certainly use another variety – Braeburn and McIntosh are great. In fact, you could even add some extra texture and try using two varieties of apples or go completely different and add a handful of blackberries, raisins or cranberries. They would all be excellent.

This is a very simple apple crisp. You will often find recipes for apple crisp call for apples that have been chopped into small cubes. That’s fine, but we really love tender apples instead of softened apples. So, we actually keep the apples in larger slices. Feel free to cut the apples smaller if that is what you prefer.

Serves: 6

Ingredients

FOR the Apple Filling

• 4 large Granny Smith apples
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup (108 grams) light brown sugar

FOR the Crisp Topping

• 3/4 cup (105 grams) all purpose flour
• 3/4 cup (68 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/3 cup (72 grams) light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons (84 grams) cold butter, cubed

Method

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
2. Peel and core apples then cut into quarters. Next, cut each apple quarter into four thin slices. Add apples to a large bowl with lemon juice and toss to coat.
3. Add the 3 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon and brown sugar then toss until well coated.
4. Transfer apples to a 9-inch pie pan or a 8-inch round cake pan then gently press down so they fit. (If a few apples do not fit, don’t add them and have a snack).
5. To make the crisp topping, whisk the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter then use your fingers or two knives to work the butter into the flour mixture until pea-size crumbs form.
6. Sprinkle topping over the apple filling. Then, use your fingers to lightly press down, forming a loose crust.
7. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until bubbling, the apples are tender and the topping has lightly browned. If the topping starts to become too brown, cover with aluminum foil and continue to bake until the apples are done.
