This delicious Apple Crisp is a quick and comforting dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. With a sweet cinnamon-sugar filling and a buttery, crumbly topping, it’s easy to make using simple ingredients you likely already have.
Ingredients Needed:
Filling:
- 15 to 20 apples, in a variety of brands, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup cinnamon and sugar mixture
- 1/2 to 1 cup apple cider or orange juice
Topping:
- 2 cups bleached flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 sticks cold margarine
How To Make Apple Crisp?
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and let it warm up while you prepare the filling and topping.
- Prepare the apples: Layer the peeled and sliced apples into an ungreased 33 x 23 x 5 cm (13 x 9 x 2-inch) baking pan. Sprinkle a generous amount of the cinnamon-sugar mixture in between each layer to ensure the apples are well-coated.
- Add the liquid: Once you’ve reached the top of the pan, sprinkle the last of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apples. Then, carefully pour the apple cider or orange juice over the entire mixture to infuse the apples with extra moisture and flavor.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cold margarine. Use a mixer or your hands to blend these ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the crisp: Spread the crumbly topping evenly over the layered apples, making sure to cover the filling completely with the topping mixture.
- Bake the crisp: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for around 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. Serve it warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Recipe Tips:
- Use a mix of apples for a tasty filling: Combining different types, like sweet and tart apples, makes the flavor of your apple crisp more interesting.
- Keep the margarine cold for a crisp topping: Cold margarine works best to create a crumbly and golden topping when baked.
- Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar between each layer of apples: This helps ensure each bite is sweet and nicely spiced.
- Avoid overfilling the baking pan with apples: Using too many apples can make the topping soggy and cause uneven cooking.
- Let it cool before serving: Allowing it to rest helps the juices settle and makes serving easier, bringing out the flavors more clearly.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Apple Crisp cool completely to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Allow the Apple Crisp to cool fully before freezing. Place it in a freezer-safe container or tightly wrap the baking dish with plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Apple Crisp in an oven-safe dish, cover it loosely with foil to prevent over-browning, and heat for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through and the topping is crispy.
