• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

How To Make Apple Crisp Recipe?

1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease a 23x33cm / 9×13-inch glass baking dish with butter.
2. Prepare the Apples: Arrange the sliced apples evenly in the baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples, then pour 120ml / ½ cup water evenly over the top.
3. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir while drizzling in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Assemble & Bake: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 43 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature on its own, or with a scoop of ice cream or frozen custard.

Recipe Tips:

• Choose the Right Apples : Use Granny Smith apples for the best balance of tartness and sweetness. They hold their shape well and don’t turn mushy when baked.
• Don’t Skip the Water : Pouring ½ cup (120ml) of water over the apples helps create a soft, juicy filling. Without it, the apples may dry out.
• Mix the Topping Well : Stir the melted butter into the topping until you get crumbly pieces. This ensures an even, crispy texture after baking.
• Bake Until Golden : The topping should be golden brown and slightly crisp. If it looks pale, bake for a few more minutes to get that perfect crunch.
• Let It Cool Slightly : Wait 10-15 minutes after baking before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and makes it easier to scoop without falling apart.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover apple crisp cool to room temperature. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Once cooled, wrap the apple crisp in a freezer-safe dish or place it in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying it chilled or at room temperature.
