🍳 How to Make
At the bottom of the post, there is a full list of step-by-step instructions.
Step 1. Set the oven to 350 degrees and grease a baking dish. In a bowl, add the apples, and lemon juice. Combine with maple syrup, apple juice, cinnamon, allspice, thyme leaves, and salt. Put the topping ingredients into another bowl and combine with the oats until fully coated.
Step 2. Add the apple mixture to the baking dish and spread evenly. Add the topping mixture on top and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and crisp. Take it out and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Hint: To make sure the apple crisp doesn't become too browned, you can place aluminum foil over top while baking for the last 15 to 20 minutes.
🥄 Variations
You can use some of the options below to alter the recipe to your liking.
- You can use any baking apples that you like; I personally like granny smith or pink lady apples.
- Old-fashioned oats are a great option but you can use another style of oats.
- You can keep out whatever spices you want and add more of something else.
🍽️ What to Serve With
This is best served by itself or with a sweet topping like vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream. You can try other kinds of ice cream if you like.
🍶 Storing
Refrigerator Storage: You can store in the fridge for up to 5 days or place at room temperature. Make sure though it's in an airtight container.
Freezer Storage: You can freeze this recipe for up to 3 months if you want it to last awhile.
💭Top Tips
- It's best to use baking apples for this recipe so that they will hold up in the oven. If you use other kinds of apples, they will become mushy.
- You can use butter or spray oil to grease the baking dish.
- For easy removal, you can also use parchment paper.
