Baked Cinnamon Apple Crisp
Tender apples, rich spices and a buttery topping make this baked cinnamon apple crisp a winner for dessert.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 6 large apples cored, peeled, and sliced
- 1 T. fresh lemon juice
- ⅓ c. real maple syrup
- 2 T. 100% apple juice sugar free
- 1 t. ground cinnamon
- ½ t. ground allspice
- 1½ t. fresh thyme leaves
- ¼ t. salt
For the Topping
- 1 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
- ⅓ c. almond flour
- ⅓ c. almonds sliced
- ⅓ c. honey preferably local
- 3 T. unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8” x 8” baking dish and set aside.
- Place apples in a large non-reactive bowl and toss with fresh lemon juice. Add maple syrup, apple juice, cinnamon, allspice, thyme leaves, and salt. Toss to combine and set aside.
- Combine topping ingredients in a separate bowl and stir until oats are thoroughly coated and all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Pour apple mixture into prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Spread the topping evenly across the top in a uniform layer, as well.
- Place into pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes. If the top layer is nicely browned, cover dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or until the apple crisp is nice and bubbling. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm with some vanilla bean iced cream or freshly whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Apples: Use firm varieties like Granny Smith or Pink Lady for the best texture.
- Spices: Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg to your preference for a milder or bolder flavor.
- Serving: Perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
