You ever walk into a kitchen when someone’s baking apples and cinnamon? It’s like an instant hug from the oven. Apple crisp is one of those desserts that doesn’t ask for much—just a handful of pantry staples and some fresh apples—but oh boy, does it deliver on flavor. No fancy gadgets, no stress. Just sweet, gooey filling and a crunchy, buttery topping that makes you want to sneak a forkful before it even cools down (guilty as charged).

So if you’ve got a couple of Granny Smith apples hanging out in your fruit bowl, this recipe is your ticket to an easy, comforting dessert.

🍏 Apple Crisp Filling

• 4 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

How to do it: Toss everything in a big bowl until the apples are evenly coated. It’ll look a little messy, but that’s the charm. Spread the mixture into a buttered baking dish—this is your cozy apple base.

🥣 Streusel Topping

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup cold butter (cut into small cubes)

How to do it: In another bowl, stir together the oats, sugar, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Then comes the fun part—work in the cold butter with your fingers until it’s crumbly (don’t worry if it sticks a little, that just means flavor). Sprinkle this golden goodness over your apples.

🔥 Baking Time

Pop the dish into a 350°F oven for about 40–45 minutes. The topping should be golden brown, and the apples should be bubbling underneath. Let it cool for a few minutes—though honestly, I never wait long enough.
