Ingredients
Instructions

- Drain apples from water and place them in a 13 x 10 x 2-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and mix thoroughly; set aside.
- Prepare the topping by mixing 1 1/2 cups flour and 3/4 cup butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
- Spread the crumbly topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, consider using a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. You can substitute half of the sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor. If you want a nutty texture, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping. To enhance the flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the apple mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the apple crisp warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with Sour Cream Apple Pie(8 Servings) for a dessert spread. For a cozy breakfast option, try serving it with a side of yogurt or oatmeal. A sprinkle of cinnamon on top before serving adds a lovely touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the crisp in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual servings for about 30-45 seconds, but the topping may lose some crispiness.
