Ingredients for Apple Crisp A La Mode

  • 6 medium apples (about 6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • Rolled Oats
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

How to Make Apple Crisp A La Mode

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch baking pan.
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Arrange evenly in the prepared pan.
  3. In a large resealable bag, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Seal the bag and shake well to combine.
  4. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, to the bag.
  5. Seal the bag and gently squeeze or knead until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Open the bag and sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
