Granny Smith Apple Crisp
This recipe is on the Momma Muse site - it’s one of my fall favorites (ok, fall, winter, early spring anytime I can get tart, crispy granny smith apples). This apple crisp recipe an easy recipe to tweak, so don’t feel like you have follow these directions exactly.. it’s more of a guideline. Play with it, experiment (and take notes so you know what you like and don’t). For example, sometimes I don’t use any white sugar at all… or I may double the amount of “crisp”, because I love that part! Other times, I chunk my apples instead of slicing them. Anyway, have fun and enjoy! And don’t forget a scoop of vanilla ice cream and homemade whipped cream!
Ingredients:
Topping:
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. oats (I use quick oats, but rolled oats may be used instead)
butter
Filling:
4-6 Granny Smith Apples (or other crisp, tart apples)
1/4 c. brown sugar
Directions:
- Peel, core and slice apples into thin pieces.
- In a bowl, add cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar to sliced apples and mix well.
- Set aside.
- Mix flour, granulated sugar, and oats together.
- Add 3 tablespoons butter.
- Mash well with fork creating clumps and crumbs.
- Grease bottom of cooking pan. I use a 9? round cake pan.
- Pour apple mixture into pan.
- Top with crumb mixture.
Bake in oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Crumb top will turn golden brown.

@Mary: I cut up a bunch of apples yesterday with the intention of making an apple crisp, only to realize I didn’t have enough brown sugar OR oats! So I just added what brown sugar I had and some butter and baked them anyway.. they were tasty, but more brown sugar and butter would have been better. Oh well… I’m in the mood for a crisp, so I guess a trip to the store is in order.. hope your hubby liked it!
