This spiced apple crunch is a fragrant, mouthwatering dessert, perfect for a brisk fall day. The fresh tart apples can be left unpeeled if you prefer. The apples are topped with a crumbly dough and some ground cinnamon.
The apple crunch can be served warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. Or drizzle some heavy cream over the warm crunch dessert. Caramel or butterscotch sauce would be fabulous as well.
Ingredients
-
1/3 cup melted butter, plus more for baking dish
-
6 to 8 tart apples, such as Granny Smith
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 to 1 cup sugar, depending on tartness of apples
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 large egg
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter an 8-inch-square baking dish.
-
Peel apples, if desired. Core and cut into wedges. Slice wedges thinly.
-
Arrange apple slices in prepared baking dish.
-
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and egg in a bowl and blend well.
-
Sprinkle mixture over apples.
-
Drizzle melted butter evenly over crumb mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Tips
- Replace the apples with 2 cans of apple pie filling.
- Serve with a quick and easy caramel sauce. In a saucepan combine 1 1/2 cups of packed brown sugar with 4 tablespoons of flour; blend well. Add 1 cup of boiling water and a dash of salt. Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, and about 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, or to taste.
