Happy Friday and welcome to the beginning of the weekend! We are Diving Into Decadence here at The Slow Roasted Italian today with a phenomenal Honeycrisp Apple Crisp.
I really developed a taste for crisps, crumbles and cobblers when I lived in Florida. It is the one state that is in the south, but not considered southern. Go figure! I usually make apple crisps with golden delicious, because they bake so well. This time I decided to try some delicious honeycrisp apples. They are divine and this crisp was beyond amazing!!!
Enjoy!!!
Apple Crisp
2 pounds ripe Honeycrisp Apples (4-5 apples)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ stick butter, melted
For the topping:
¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1 stick cold unsalted butter, diced
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Peel, core, and cut the apples into large chunks (or slices if you prefer).
Place the apples in a large bowl and add the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well with a spoon. Pour into a buttered 8”x8” inch baking dish.
For the topping:
Combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, until the mixture is in large crumbles. Sprinkle evenly over the apples, covering completely.
Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake for 40 minutes or until the top is brown and the fruit is bubbly. Serve warm. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious topping.
