A comforting baked dessert with spiced apples and blackberries topped with a buttery oat and almond crumble, baked until golden and bubbly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the perfect balance of crispy topping and tender fruit.
Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
- 2 cup blackberries, fresh
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup almonds, sliced
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 vanilla ice cream
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and position a rack in the center.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, blackberries, and lemon juice. Gently toss to combine.
- Sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the fruit and gently toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9x13-inch baking pan and spread into an even layer.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, and packed light brown sugar.
- Pour the melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract over the oat mixture and stir until all dry ingredients are moistened and crumbly.
- Distribute the oat crumble mixture evenly over the fruit filling, breaking up any large clumps so it covers the fruit in an irregular, rustic layer.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling slightly at the edges.
- Remove the crisp from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving—this allows the fruit filling to set slightly.
- Spoon the warm crisp into serving bowls and top each portion with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately.
