Ingredients
- 12 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 8 wedges each
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 cup all purpose flour, divided
- ½ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prep. Peel, core and slice apples into 8 wedges.
- Chop cold butter into small pieces. Measure the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with raised edges. You can also use a wider baking dish for this.
- Apples. In a big bowl, toss apple wedges with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and brown sugar until coated. Add ½ cup flour and mix well. Spread the apple mixture on the prepared sheet.
- Crunchy topping. In another bowl, combine ½ cup flour with cold butter using 2 knives or a pastry blender until it looks like small peas. Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon, oats, walnuts, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until mixed.
- Evenly spoon the walnut oatmeal topping over the apples on the baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes until the fruit bubbles and the topping is golden brown. Serve the crisp warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Do not overmix. When cutting the butter into the flour, make sure that you do not overdo it. It should not be smooth at all, but crumbly and slightly grainy.
- Layer with care. Make sure that the oat and walnut mixture is equally distributed on top of the apple filling. This will give you an evenly baked golden crust!
- Adjust the baking time. Baking time may vary on the size of the pan and the type of oven you are using. Rotate the pan halfway through if needed.
- Apples – use apple varieties that hold their shape well when baked like Braeburn, Cortland, Golden Delicious, and Honeycrisp. If you like to add a little tartness to the recipe, you can also use Granny Smith apples. Or a mix of both sweet and tart apples for balanced flavor profile.
