Equipment

  • 1 9x9-inch Square Baking Dish
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Paring Knife for peeling and coring apples
  • 1 Rubber Spatula or Fork for mixing

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 5 large Granny Smith apples - peeled cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries thawed
  • ½ cup old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish.
  • Mix brown sugar and 1 tablespoon flour together in a large bowl until blended. Add apples and raspberries; toss to coat. Spoon into the prepared baking dish.
  • Mix oats, 1/2 cup flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl until well combined; stir in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over apple mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, 50 to 55 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

For optimal apple crispness and uniform cooking, ensure Granny Smith apples are sliced consistently thin. Consider adding a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg or allspice to the apple filling for added depth of flavor, complementing the cinnamon. If using fresh raspberries, adjust brown sugar slightly based on their sweetness, or add a squeeze of lemon juice to balance. When preparing the crisp topping, be careful not to overmix after adding the butter; a distinct crumbly texture is desired. If the topping starts to brown too quickly before the apples are tender, loosely tent the dish with foil. Serve warm with a scoop of premium vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of fresh crème fraîche for an elevated experience.
