Ingredients:
- 4 sliced apples
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup flour
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Apples: Start by slicing the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. This ensures that they cook evenly and maintain a perfect texture in the crisp.
-
Prep the Baking Dish: Take a small baking dish and generously butter it. This prevents the crisp from sticking and adds a rich flavor to the dish.
-
Layer the Apples: Arrange the sliced apples in the buttered baking dish, ensuring they form an even layer across the bottom.
-
Cinnamon Infusion: In a small bowl, combine the water and cinnamon. This mixture adds a hint of warmth and spice to the apples, enhancing their flavor profile. Pour this mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
-
Create the Crumbly Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, and butter until the mixture becomes crumbly in texture. This is the delicious topping that will crisp up beautifully in the oven and add a delightful contrast to the soft, baked apples.
-
Spread Topping Over Apples: Once the crumbly mixture is ready, spread it evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the apples completely, creating a generous layer of topping.
-
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared baking dish in the oven and bake the apple crisp uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the apple crisp from the oven and serve it hot. For an extra indulgent touch, pair it with a dollop of Cool Whip or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The creamy coolness perfectly complements the warm, cinnamon-infused apples and crisp topping.
-
Note: If you’re like me and enjoy an extra generous amount of “crumblies” on your apple crisp, feel free to double the ingredients for the topping. This ensures every bite is packed with delicious, crunchy goodness.
Indulge in this timeless classic and savor the flavors of nostalgia with Mom’s Apple Crisp. Whether enjoyed on a cozy evening at home or shared with loved ones at a gathering, this dessert is sure to delight all who taste it.
