Deep Dish Apple Crisp

This Deep Dish Apple Crisp is a simple and comforting dessert that showcases the natural sweetness of apples beneath a soft, cake-like crust. Ideal for a cozy night in, this recipe offers classic apple crisp flavors with very little effort.

Ingredients:

• Apples: Enough to fill the bottom of an 8-inch pie dish (about 4 to 6 medium apples), peeled and sliced
  Topping:
• Eggs: 2
• Granulated sugar: 1 cup (set aside ¼ cup for cinnamon sugar)
• Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon (to mix with the reserved sugar)
• Melted butter or margarine: 2 tablespoons
• All-purpose flour: 1 cup
• Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon

Instructions:

1. Prepare Apples and Dish: Peel and slice enough apples to form an even layer at the bottom of your 8-inch pie plate.
2. Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine 2 eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, melted butter or margarine, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until just smooth and blended, being careful not to overmix.
3. Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, stir together the reserved ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle this evenly over the sliced apples in the pie plate.
4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the topping mixture gently over the apples, spreading it evenly to cover them. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden brown.
5. Serve: Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. It’s wonderful warm and even better topped with vanilla ice cream. Be sure to share this delicious dessert with friends or family!
