Pioneer Woman Apple Crisp (Print-Friendly Version)

This comforting apple crisp highlights fresh Granny Smith apples and a golden oat brown sugar topping. Ideal for crisp autumn days and family gatherings, it's a warm treat you'll want this later.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Apple Filling

01 - 8 medium apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 cup water

→ Crisp Topping

07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1 cup quick-cooking oats
09 - 1 cup packed brown sugar
10 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
11 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
12 - Pinch of salt
13 - 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, melted

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine apples, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.
02 - Toss apples and dry ingredients to evenly coat. Add water and mix thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
03 - In a separate bowl, blend all-purpose flour, quick-cooking oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Pour in melted butter and mix until the topping forms coarse crumbs.
04 - Distribute the crumbly topping evenly over the apple filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and apple filling is bubbly and tender.
05 - Allow the crisp to cool briefly, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream as desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For enhanced flavor, select a blend of tart and sweet apples. Ensure topping is evenly distributed for consistent crispness.
