Apple Crisp

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?

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and let it warm up while you prepare the filling and topping.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Assemble the crisp: Spread the crumbly topping evenly over the layered apples, making sure to cover the filling completely with the topping mixture.
6. 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.
7. 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.
