7 large apples or 4 large apples and 3 large pears
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup all purpose flour

1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup old fashioned oats rolled oats
12 tablespoons salted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. and prepare a 9”x13” baking dish by rubbing the sides and bottom with butter.
Fill a large bowl about 1/3 full with water, then squeeze ½ of a fresh lemon into the water.
½ lemon
Peel, core and slice apples (and pears if using). As you slice them, add the chopped fruit to the bowl of lemon water. This will prevent the fruit from turning brown while you work.
7 large apples
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and flour.
½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ cup all purpose flour
Drain the bowl of chopped fruit, and then add the sugar/cinnamon/flour mixture. Stir to evenly coat the fruit and then pour the fruit into the prepared baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining cup of flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and old fashioned oats.
1 cup all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 cup old fashioned oats
Cut the butter into small pieces, and then mix into the flour/oat mixture. Use a pastry blender or two forks to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and the butter has been worked into the dry ingredients.
12 tablespoons salted butter
Pour the crumbs evenly over the dish of fruit.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until deep golden brown.
Cool for 15 minutes (or more) before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream and Sprouts Salted Caramel Sauce.

Notes

Storage Information

Apple Crisp is best served warm and fresh from the oven, but leftovers can be enjoyed later too. If you’re making it ahead, keep the topping from getting soggy by storing the crisp properly and reheating it in the oven.

Refrigerator: Store leftover apple crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the oven or microwave before serving.
Make ahead: You can prepare the apple filling and crisp topping ahead of time and refrigerate them separately. Assemble and bake when you’re ready for the freshest, crispiest topping.
Freezing: Apple Crisp can be frozen for longer storage. Allow it to cool completely, wrap it well, and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating: For the best texture, reheat the crisp in the oven until warmed through. This helps the buttery oat topping crisp up again.
