Apple Crumb Crisp

One of my Fall Goals was to make an Apple Pie! Blake's favorite dessert this time of year is Apple Pie, but I decided to change it up and change up my families Apple Pie recipe a bit to make an Apple Crumb Crisp! We both love how it turned out and we hope you will give it a try this Holiday season :)

Here's what you'll need for the crumb topping:

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup plain oats

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

sprinkle of salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into small chunks(super important!)

For the filling:

4 large Granny Smith apples (peeled and sliced pretty thin)

3 Tbsp butter, melted

2 Tbsp flour

1 Tbsp lemon juice

3 Tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

sprinkle of salt

a little extra cinnamon to sprinkle on top

Lets get to cooking! 

First, preheat oven to 375.

In a medium size bowl combine the crumb topping ingredients with a fork until it starts forming small crumbs. It should look something like this :)

Pop it in the fridge while you start mixing the filling.

For the Filling: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and flour until blended then add lemon juice, milk and vanilla, stir well. Add in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. 

Pour the mixture over the apples and toss until the apples are well coated. It should look about like this. 

Pour the apple mixture into a baking dish(make sure it's all even) and sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples. (Try to resist stealing a bite right then!)

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. 

Tastes great with a side of Vanilla Bluebell :) 

This recipe is so yummy and will leave your house smelling like fall. Y'all give it a try and let me know how it turns out!
