Cinnamon and Nutmeg Apple Crisp Ingredient Breakdown

Apple Crisp Filling

• Apples: Granny Smith apples are the ideal apples to use for the recipe.
• Ground cinnamon and nutmeg: This spice combination creates the best flavour profile for Fall recipes. Check out the Spiced Oat Flour Pancakes for another way to enjoy these 2 spices.
• Dark brown sugar: Granny Smith apples are quite tart, dark brown sugar adds sweetness and a caramel flavour.

Apple Crisp Topping

• Flour and Oatmeal: The foundation for the topping.
• Dark brown sugar: Sweetness.
• Ground cinnamon and nutmeg: Adds essential fall flavours.
• Melted butter: Binds the topping together.

How to Make Cinnamon and Nutmeg Apple Crisp

1. Prepare the apples: Thoroughly wash the apples then core and thinly slice. About 3 large Granny Smith will fit in a 9inch round dish (2 inch depth). Once the apples are thinly sliced, toss the apples with the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and dark brown sugar.
2. Prepare the apple crisp topping: In a separate bowl combine all ingredients – flour, oatmeal, dark brown sugar, both spices and melted butter. The topping will be crumbly.
3. Put the apple crisp together: Pour the prepared apples in the 9inch round dish and sprinkle the apple crisp topping on top to cover.
4. Bake: Bake in a 350F oven for 50-60 minutes until the apples are soft.
5. Serve: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tools Needed

• The apple crisp will be baked and served in a 9inch round baking pan
• Sharp knife and cutting board to prepare the apples
• 2 mixing bowls to prepare the apples and the topping
