Homemade Apple Crisp Recipe
My homemade apple crisp recipe features an apple filling and buttery pecan crumbly topping... it's so easy and delicious! Pour into a baking dish or skillet and bake until the crisp topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. One of the best apple recipes, especially when topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 10 cups sliced apples (see post for more on this)
- 1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground all-spice
For the Crumb Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (106g) packed brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter cold and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Garnish:
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling, optional
- vanilla ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).
For the Apple Filling:
- Lightly grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice; set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, and spices. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss well to coat.
- Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and set aside while you make the crumb topping.
For the Crumb Topping:
- In a large bowl combine the flour, both sugars, oats, pecans, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon.
- Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- Sprinkle over apple mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crumb is golden and the apples are tender.
- Drizzle with salted caramel sauce and serve warm, with flaky sea salt and ice cream, if desired.
