Chanelle’s family recipe for apple crisp

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall” – F. Scott Fitzgerald. I wonder if he was referring to apple ‘crisp’? If he was, he definitely meant my family’s recipe (credit to my Auntie Liza) for this Best-Ever Apple Crisp. A true fall classic in our home and a beautiful way to celebrate the changing seasons if you ask me.

Prep time: 15 mins

Cooking: 45 mins             

Ingredients

Apple mixture

  • 10 cups peeled and sliced B.C. apples (approx. 10 small apples) see notes for apple variety*
  • 6 tbsp B.C. flour like Anita’s Organic Mill Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp brown sugar

Topping

  • 2 1/2 cups B.C. oats like Anita’s Organic Mill Whole Grain Rolled Oats
  • 2 cups B.C. flour like Anita’s Organic Mill Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar1 1/2 cups cold unsalted B.C. butter like Avalon Dairy
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F
  2. Peel and slice apples. Place them in a rectangular baking dish (I used 10” x 6” but a 9” x 13” will also work)
  3. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp cinnamon, 6 tbsp flour and 2 tsp brown sugar. Mix well then pour over the apples and toss to coat the apples
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining cups of flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt, and mix well
  5. Add thin squares of cold butter and cut in using a pastry cutter, fork or knife (careful to not warm the butter)
  6. Spread the cold butter mixture over the apples
  7. Place pan in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes then broil for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • *I used B.C. Gala apples which are a sweeter variety. If you opt for a tarter apple such as Granny Smith, you may want to add another 1-2 tsp of brown sugar to coat your apples
  • This recipe can easily be halved. Cook time will remain the same
