A delightful twist on the classic apple crisp, this recipe combines a buttery crumb topping with a hint of cinnamon for a comforting dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother mixture.
Add the egg and butter to the dry mixture and mix until crumbly.
Use cold butter for a better crumb texture.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and brown sugar.
Coating the apples prevents browning and adds flavor.
Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased baking dish.
Ensure an even layer for consistent baking.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apples.
Press lightly for a compact topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Check halfway through to prevent over-browning.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Cooling allows the flavors to meld together.
