Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups apples peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 to 4 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix the sugar and flour in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a 9×13 inch pan, place peeled and sliced apples so the pan is nicely filled.
  4. Sprinkle the sugar and flour mixture over the apples in the baking dish.
  5. In a medium sized bowl, cut together the butter, flour and brown sugar. Stir in the oatmeal and sprinkle entire mixture on top of apples.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until nicely browned.

Notes

I like Honeycrisp apples for this recipe in the fall, but Granny Smith also is a great choice. You can even do a mix of both varieties!
I use 1/2 cup sugar but if you like your apple crisp a little sweeter, then you can up it to 3/4 cup.
When using individual ramekins, I mixed the apples, sugar and flour together in a bowl and then divided the mixture up amongst 10 (7-ounce) ramekins.
You can easily halve the recipe to fit in a 9x9 square pan or 5 individual ramekins - just adjust all ingredients accordingly.
Sere with vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with caramel sauce, if desired!
