Plenty of maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and oats make this my favorite recipe for Apple Crisp! It is much simpler than a pie and arguably as good. Plus it can be made ahead so it is a great dessert to make if you are having company.
The Ingredients
- Apples- Use any kind or a combination of kinds; depending on the sweetness, you may need to add more maple syrup. You need about 4 large apples which will yield 6 cups sliced. I like to slice them around ¼ inch thick, but you can vary the sizes in order to add some texture. Peeling the apples is optional.
- Maple Syrup- You can use honey or brown sugar instead for the filling but maple is really tasty with apple!
- Lemon Juice- Adds a little freshness and helps to prevent the apples from browning if you make it ahead. It can definitely be left out.
- Vanilla Extract
- Cinnamon
- Butter- Unsalted or salted butter will work.
- Brown Sugar
- Large Flake Oats- Quick oats will also work. The texture of the crumble topping will be slightly different but still delicious!
- Oat Flour- To make your own oat flour, pulse ¾ cup of large flake or quick oats in a blender until they are the consistency of flour. You can also substitute with almond flour, whole wheat flour or all purpose flour.
- Sea Salt
The Method
- Mix together filling.
- Combine ingredients for topping.
- Pour topping over filling.
- Bake.
- Cool for 5 minutes and serve!
Make Ahead
You can assemble the apple crisp in advance. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator prior to baking.
Leftover Storage
Store leftover apple crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Eat cold, at room temperature or reheated. You can reheat it in the microwave or in the oven at 350 F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
