Apple Crisp

Serves 8 Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes cooling time

Instructions:

1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees.

2. In medium bowl, use rubber spatula to stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle melted butter over oat mixture and toss with fork or your fingers until mixture comes together.

3. In large bowl, use rubber spatula to stir together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add apples to bowl with cornstarch mixture and toss to coat.

4. Use rubber spatula to scrape apple mixture into 8-inch square baking dish. Crumble oat topping into pea-size clumps and sprinkle oat topping evenly over apple mixture.

5. Place baking dish in oven. Bake until filling is bubbling around edges and topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes.

6. Use oven mitts to remove baking dish from oven (ask an adult for help). Place baking dish on cooling rack and let apple crisp cool on rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

So easy and delicious
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2025

I got this along with the cooking book for my kids for Christmas. My 10 year old has tried a bunch of recipes and each one has turned out so well. He loves the challenge of trying to do it without asking for my help and the recipes are simple so he usually accomplishes his goal of making delicious food without needing help. Each recipe is simple and easy to follow and is laying a foundation of good, solid basics. Every time he makes something new his confidence increases along with his interest is cooking and baking.

My 13-year-old loves this cookbook, so now she is in the kitchen trying new recipes almost every weekend she has a shopping list for me to go get so she can try out her new recipes. I love the fact that they break everything down for kids to understand and walk them through it step by step so they feel like they're doing it completely on their own but can also ask for help if they have any questions.

I bought this book for my daughter and found out it is the same one they use in her classroom. The explanations are written so that children can succeed at their baking projects. Simple and clear step by step instructions. Definitions of baking instructions and a complete list of tools needed for each recipe. In second grade my daughter made cinnamon rolls from scratch by herself and they were delicious.

This book so informative!!!!! Great for all ages. I bought this for my sons birthday so we haven't used it together yet. But just from my own look through it I'm so excited to cook with him this book teaches you techniques not just recipes it teaches you the how to and the why. I'm more likely to teach him things I mightve forgotten to teach since I'm a self taught home cook.
