How to Make Apple Crisp with Whipped Cream
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and granulated sugar. Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until crumbly and well combined.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- While the apple crisp is baking, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the apple crisp is done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor. Varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp work beautifully together.
- Ensure the butter is melted but not hot before mixing with the dry ingredients to prevent clumping.
- Let the crisp cool slightly before serving to help the filling set up a bit.
Easy Variations
- Add a handful of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the oat topping for extra crunch.
- Stir in dried fruit like cranberries or raisins with the apples for added sweetness and texture.
- Swap out some of the oats for crushed graham crackers for a different twist.
What to Serve With It
- Vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing
- Caramel sauce drizzled on top for added sweetness
- A sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra crunch
