Homestyle Apple Crisp (Apple Crumble) Recipe
A simple baked apple crisp recipe made by layering sliced apples and topping them with a crumbly mix of flour, brown sugar, and butter. The apples soften while the topping stays crisp; let it cool briefly, then serve warm on its own or with vanilla ice cream.

Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the dish
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish so the crisp lifts out easily.
Add the apples
Spread the sliced apples in an even layer in the dish. Keep the layer fairly level for consistent baking.
Make the crumb topping
Mix flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Add the cold butter and rub it in with your fingertips until you get coarse, pebbly crumbs.
Top the apples
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apples. Don’t pack it down; a looser topping bakes up crispier.
Bake and cool briefly
Bake for about 35 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and the apples are tender. Rest 5–10 minutes before serving.
