How to Make Cinnamon Apple Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium Granny Smith apples (about 6 cups sliced).
  3. In a large bowl, toss the apples with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle 1/4 cup maple syrup evenly over the apples.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  6. While the apples bake, prepare the crumble topping.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Once the apples have baked for 35 minutes, remove them from the oven. Gently toss the apples and then flatten them evenly with the back of a spatula or wooden spoon.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture.
  10. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. The topping should be crispy.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
