Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For the Crisp Topping:
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Apple Filling: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour until the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Assemble Filling: Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to form a uniform layer.
- Prepare Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Add Topping and Bake: Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. For extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert.
- For added texture and flavor, mix in chopped pecans or walnuts into the crisp topping before baking.
