Description
Apple Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream is a timeless dessert that combines the tartness of baked apples with a crunchy, cinnamon-sugar topping, topped with smooth vanilla ice cream for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract until evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the apples.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
Notes
- Store any leftover apple crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- To reheat, place the apple crisp in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual servings for 1-2 minutes.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and certified gluten-free oats.
- For a vegan version, substitute vegan butter and plant-based ice cream.
- Can be made ahead by assembling and refrigerating before baking.
