Ingredients

32 oz red apples (combining with some green apples would work too), cored, peeled, and cubed into ¾ inches pieces
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp water
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Toppings

3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup almond meal
1/2 cup chopped almonds
3 tbsp butter
Greek Yogurt and raw honey to serve

Instructions

You’ll need an iron cast skillet or oven-safe skillet for this recipe.
Heat the skillet over medium heat, add butter, and let it melt. Next, incorporate cubed apples, water, and ground spices. Stir to combine and let them cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally for an even cooking. Add more water to provide extra moisture and help with cooking, only if needed. Once the apples are tender but not mushy, remove from heat.
Combine topping ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Then, spread it over the cooked apples. Gently mix to combine.
Preheat the oven to 350F and bake the apple crisp for 30-35 minutes or until nicely golden on top. Keep an eye on your apple crisp to avoid undesirable burning on top.
Serve warm with Greek yogurt on top.

Tips

If you have leftovers, store the apple crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Refrigerate it within two hours of baking so it cools down completely to prevent the growth of bacteria. Consume the refrigerated apple crisp within 3-4 days for the best quality.

To reheat leftovers, you can use the oven and set it at 350F. Place the apple crisp in an oven-safe dish and cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Reheat for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. For a quicker option, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave.
