From the Blog Author
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 6 cups peeled, thinly sliced apples
- 3 tablespoons apple juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie plate or 9x9 square dish.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon for the topping.
Add melted butter to the topping mixture and stir until just combined; set aside or chill.
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla for the filling.
Mix the filling ingredients until the apples are evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Crumble the topping evenly over the apples.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples are tender.
Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally topped with ice cream and caramel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best apples to use for this 45-minute Apple Crisp recipe?
For the best texture and flavor, choose firm, slightly tart apples that hold their shape well during baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. Since this recipe calls for 6 cups of peeled, thinly sliced apples, using a mix of tart and sweet varieties will give you a perfectly balanced filling.
Can I make the topping for this Apple Crisp ahead of time?
Yes, you can definitely make the topping ahead of time! After combining the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and melted butter, cover the mixture and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. If chilling, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before sprinkling it over your apples before baking at 350°F (175°C).
How should I store leftover Apple Crisp and how long will it last?
Store leftover Apple Crisp in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To refresh the crisp topping, reheat individual portions in a toaster oven or a 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes until warm and crunchy.
