Baked Apple Crisp

Oh, how I love the fall season and all of the cool-weather produce. It just makes me want to get in my kitchen to cook and bake fruity things. The thing is, I’m super-relaxed when it comes to making pie crust from scratch.

Translation, I’m pretty lazy about it, so I’m always shouting praise to the pioneers of apple crisp and their (delicious) pastry shortcut.

We have an apple tree in our yard, and I honestly can’t keep up with it during the season. Thankfully, the season is long, which means many apple crisps will land in our bellies starting late summer, which is now, which is exactly why I’m bringing you this recipe.

You may or may not have an apple tree, but I know you love the convenience and simplicity of this fruity, baked, comfort food that everyone loves, especially with a scoop of ice cream on top.

Ingredients you’ll need to make Apple Crisp:

• Brown sugar – you could substitute white sugar, but brown sugar gives a more caramel-like flavor.
• Flour – we used all-purpose flour, but wheat flour will work too.
• Rolled oats – also called old-fashioned oats, these are the ones you find in the Quaker oatmeal container.
• Cinnamon – this is a quintessential fall spice, but you can play around and add others if you like! Spices like nutmeg, clove, and allspice come to mind.
• Sea salt – If you don’t have sea salt, equal measurements of table salt will work fine.
• Unsalted butter –We use unsalted butter in all of our recipes. You can use salted butter, but you may want to cut the sea salt in half. Margarine is also an acceptable substitute.
• Apples –sweet varieties such as Gala, Golden Delicious, Fuji, and Honeycrisp work great for this recipe, Red Delicious will work as well. You can use tarter varieties if you prefer, you really can’t go wrong.
• Lemon juice – We never recommend using bottled or packaged lemon juice, it’s just too easy to buy a lemon and squeeze it and it’s a lot fresher!

Helpful Kitchen Tools:

• chef knife
• cutting board
• oil spray
• 9 x 7 baking dish

It’s important to note that you can use just about any sweet, crunchy apple for this recipe. In fact, I’m not sure I can tell you what apples not to use because I’m not convinced there are any that wouldn’t work.

But, I always go with sweet and crunchy…and it always works! Oh, and no peeling necessary…unless you absolutely want to.
