Deep Dish Apple Crisp: A Warm, Comforting Classic

When it comes to fall desserts—or really any time you crave something sweet and homey—Deep Dish Apple Crisp stands out. Imagine tender, cinnamon-spiced apples bubbling under a golden, buttery crumble that’s crisp on top and soft beneath. This dessert isn’t just delicious—it’s a celebration of simple ingredients that come together to create a masterpiece.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to making your own Deep Dish Apple Crisp, complete with tips to get that perfect texture and flavor.

Ingredients

For the Apple Filling:

• 6–8 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (to thicken the juices)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Crisp Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional: walnuts or pecans)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch deep baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. This ensures the crisp won’t stick and makes serving easier.

Step 2: Prepare the Apples

1. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, flour, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
   Tip: The flour helps absorb excess juices as the apples bake, preventing a soggy bottom.

Step 3: Layer the Apples

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. This will be the juicy, flavorful base of your crisp.

Step 4: Make the Crisp Topping

1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
2. Add the cold cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in chopped nuts if desired for added crunch.
