Apple Extra Crispy Crisp

Posted October 21, 2013 by Prairie Wife -

This is one of my go-to desserts in the fall. “It only takes 2 seconds,” yet it tastes so good. My favorite part is the yummy topping, so I developed a recipe that puts that sweet crispy crust front and center. Top your warm Apple Extra Crispy Crisp (say that three times fast) with some homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream… Mmm, it tastes like fall!

Apple Extra Crispy Crisp

Total Time: 15 minutes prep 25-30 minutes baking

Serves 8

Apple Filling

6 apples chopped (I don’t peel mine, but you sure can)
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup white flour
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp lemon juice
A pinch of salt

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and let sit while you make the Extra Crispy Crisp.

Extra Crispy Crisp

1 cup oats
¼ cup brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
1 cup whole wheat flour (white flour is fine too)
A pinch of salt
¾ cups ( 1 ½  sticks ) of unsalted butter, melted

In a second bowl, stir all the dry ingredients together and add the melted butter. Stir until thoroughly combined.

1. Turn the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Spray a 9×9 square glass dish with non-stick baking spray.
3. Stir the apple filling again and then dump it into the dish. Spread it out evenly.
4. Using your hands take the Extra Crispy Crisp topping and sprinkle it over the apple filling. Make sure you have it evenly spread all the way to the corners. Lightly press down the topping, there should be no gaps.
5. Place it into the oven and set the timer for 25 minutes.
6. Your Apple Extra Crispy Crisp will be done when the apples are bubbling and the topping is a dark golden brown.
