Apple Crisp a la Mode
Served warm with vanilla ice cream, this Apple Crisp a la mode has the perfect balance between apples and the sweet crunchy oat topping.
Ingredients
For the crisp topping:
- 1 Cup quick cooking oats (I prefer organic oats)
- 1/8 Cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1/8 Cup chopped almonds (optional)
- 1 Cup brown sugar
- 3/4 Cup flour
- 12 Tablespoons (1 1/2 Sticks) cold butter
For the filling:
- 2 Tablespoons butter plus extra to butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish
- 10 assorted apples, peeled, cored, and sliced or cubed (I used honey crisp and pink lady)
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 2 Tablespoons corn starch
- 1/3 Cup sugar
- 6 Tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Steps for the topping:
-
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Using a food processor or two forks cut the butter into the dry ingredients. You want a crumbly texture. Set aside.
Steps for the filling:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Butter a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
-
Toss the apples with the rest of the ingredients for the apple filling.
-
Arrange the apple mixture in the dish.
-
Top the apple mixture with the oats topping mixture.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the apples are tender and the topping is crisp.
