Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Peel and slice apples into approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl or the baking dish you will be using, toss the apple slices with 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix well to coat the slices completely, and spread in an even layer in an 8x8 glass or ceramic baking dish.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter cubes with a pie blender or two forks, until well combined and small crumbles form. Lightly pat the topping over apples in the baking dish.

Step 4

Bake the apple crisp for 45-50 minutes, until bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to cool slightly, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream as desired. Enjoy!
