Homemade Apple Crisp

Healthy Fact of the Day

Homemade apple crisp, when made with whole-grain oats and moderate sweetness, can be a delightful and relatively healthier dessert option.

Ingredients

 

For the Apple Filling:

  • 6-8 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

 

For the Crisp Topping:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Transfer the apple mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the old-fashioned rolled oats, whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown, and the apples are tender and bubbling.
  7. Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  8. Serve your Homemade Apple Crisp warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
