Joanna Gaines Apple Crisp Recipe
This Joanna Gaines Apple Crisp Recipe is a total comfort classic. It is warm, bubbly, and topped with a buttery oat crumble.
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 large Granny Smith apples peeled and sliced.
- 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats.
- 1 cup of all-purpose white flour.
- 1 cup of packed light brown sugar.
- 1/2 cup 1 stick of cold unsalted butter (cubed).
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Instructions
Prep the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit first. Lightly butter your 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
Slice the Apples
- Peel, core, and slice your apples into even pieces. Place them into a large glass mixing bowl.
Season the Fruit
- Toss the apples with the lemon juice and half of the cinnamon. This keeps the fruit bright and tasty.
Arrange the Pan
- Spread the seasoned apple slices evenly into the bottom of your dish. Press them down slightly.
Mix the Topping
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and the rest of the spices.
Cut in the Butter
- Use a pastry cutter to mix the cold butter into the oats. It should look like small, pea-sized crumbs.
Cover the Apples
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit layers. Make sure you cover all the apples well.
Bake Until Golden
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the oven. The fruit should be bubbly and the top very crisp.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for a nice tart contrast.
- Make sure the butter is very cold for a flaky crust.
- Slice the apples to the same thickness for even cooking.
- Add a handful of chopped pecans for extra crunch today.
- Use old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats for texture.
- Let the crisp sit for ten minutes before you serve it.
- Serve it with a big scoop of cold vanilla bean ice cream.
