Easy Apple Crisp
This is my absolute FAVORITE pie recipe. It's the reason I started this blog! A buttery crust filled with sweet apples and a crunchy sweet crumble on top. It's the perfect WOW dessert, especially with ice cream!

Ingredients
For the pie:
- 6-7 medium Granny Smith apples (about 3 pounds)
- ¼ cup (50g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the crumb:
- ⅔ cup (134g) sugar
- 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons (170g) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Remove butter from the refrigerator and grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Place it back in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
- Peel and core the apples, then slice into thin slices. I like using my apple peeler for this step. Place one inch of water in the bottom of a large pot. Add apples and cook, stirring occasionally, approximately 3-5 minutes after water boils, or just until the apples start to turn the slightest bit opaque.
- While apples are cooking, add the crumb ingredients to a large bowl. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the ingredients together until they form coarse crumbs, about the size of a pea.
- Drain apples very well. Let them sit in the strainer for a few minutes to cool, then place them in prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon over apples. Add your crumb mixture evenly on top.
- Bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until crumble is lightly browned around the edges.
- May be made a day in advance. Refrigerate overnight. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
