Sweet Cinnamon Apple Crisp
Ingredients:
4 cups sliced apples
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cold salted butter, cubed
Directions:
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your apple crisp bakes evenly.
Prepare the Apples: Slice the apples evenly and place them in a mixing bowl. Toss them gently with the granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well combined. Set this fruit mixture aside to let the flavors meld together.
Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, packed brown sugar, and an additional teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your hands, a knife, or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain a crumbly texture.
Assemble the Dish: Pour the prepared apple mixture into a cast iron skillet or a suitable baking dish. Evenly spread the crumble topping over the sliced apples, ensuring they are well covered.
Bake the Crisp: Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping turns golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly. If using an air fryer, cook for 20-25 minutes on a suitable setting.
Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. It’s absolutely delightful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
