Ingredients You’ll Need

All-purpose flour
Butter
Ground cinnamon
Salt

Each ingredient plays a crucial role in creating the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The apples provide a juicy base, while the oats and brown sugar create a delightful crunch. Optional substitutions include using whole wheat flour for a healthier twist or coconut sugar as a brown sugar alternative. And don’t worry, I’ve got printable measurements at the end of the article for your convenience.

How to Make Cinnamon Apple Crisp

Step 1 – Prep Ingredients

First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with cinnamon and salt. Make sure each slice is well-coated—this is where the magic begins!

Step 2 – Begin Cooking

Next, transfer the apple mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. This step is as easy as pie, or should I say, crisp?

Step 3 – Combine Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the oats, brown sugar, and flour. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. This is the secret to that irresistible topping.

Step 4 – Finish and Serve

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples. Pop it in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let it cool slightly before serving. Trust me, the wait is worth it!

Tips for Perfect Results

Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor. I love combining tart Granny Smiths with sweet Honeycrisps.
For a quicker prep, use an apple slicer. It’s a game-changer!
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If there are any, that is!

Essential Equipment Needed
