Ingredients
🍏 For the Apple Filling:
4–5 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith), peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of cloves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or 1 tsp cornstarch)
🥣 For Crisp Topping (or swap for cobbler batter):
¾ cup rolled oats
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour or almond flour
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of salt
Optional: ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or small cast-iron skillet.
2. Toss sliced apples with lemon juice, sugars, vanilla, spices, and flour or cornstarch. Spread evenly in the dish.
3. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt for the crisp topping. Mix until crumbly.
4. Sprinkle topping over apples.
5. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until bubbling and golden on top.
6. Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
Notes
Use a mix of apple varieties for the best flavor balance — sweet and tart.
Add bourbon, raisins, or maple syrup for extra fall depth.
For cobbler style, swap crisp topping for a thick batter (½ cup milk, 1 cup flour, ½ tsp baking powder, melted butter).
Make it dairy-free with vegan butter and coconut whipped cream.
Serve with spiced chai, apple cider, or cinnamon ice cream for the coziest combo.
