2lbs.Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced thin*about 7 apples
6tbspbutter, melted
1/4cupflour
1/2cuplight brown sugar, packed
5tbspwater
1 1/2tbsplemon juice
1tspvanilla extract
1tspground cinnamon
pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°. Butter an 8x8 baking dish. Move your oven rack to the center/middle of the oven for baking.
In a mixing bowl mix together your Brown Sugar Crumble Topping. You may need to use your hands to make sure the butter is fully mixed in. The mixture will not be smooth but should llike a crumble topping. Set aside.
In a large mixing mixing bowl, whisk your melted butter and flour together. Add in your brown sugar, water, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon and salt, and whisk together until mixed well.
Add your apples to the bowl with the apple filling sauce and toss until the apples are fully covered.
Pour your apple filling into the buttered 8x8 pan. Spread the Brown Sugar Crumble Topping on top. Place in the oven.
Let the apple crisp bake for 35 minutes. Check it around the 25 minute mark. If the topping is getting to browned, cover it loosely with some foil. Let it finish baking until the sauce is bubbly and the corners look like the apple filling is caramelizing. Poke a toothpick in the center and make sure the apples are soft and tender. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve your apple crisp with some vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, or use some of the extra apple filling sauce as a drizzle!
Notes
This recipe is adapted from Cooking Classy. I used Cooking Classy's recipe almost exactly but I doubled the apple filling/sauce and tweaked a few of the amounts (I doubled the filling/sauce only-I did not double the amount of apples used). You can read my blog post above to find out why I love the apple filling/sauce doubled! (Trust me-doubled is better, especially for leftovers!)This apple crisp can be reheated in the microwave for a quick minute or until warmed to your liking!
