Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Add the softened butter to the dry mixture and mix until crumbly and flaky.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream. Slowly add this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly incorporated.
- In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts (if using), and a sprinkle of brown sugar for the topping.
- Pour the apple batter into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the crisp topping evenly across the surface.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for depth of flavor. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.
