Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
For the crisp topping
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
  • 0.33 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.125 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces

Equipment

  • 1 8-inch square baking dish

Method
 

Prepare the filling
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Stir the apple pie filling and cinnamon together.
  3. Spread the filling in an 8-inch square baking dish.
Make the crisp topping
  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt.
  2. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture forms coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces.
Bake the crisp
  1. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling.
  2. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges.
  3. Let the crisp rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the crispest topping, keep the butter cold and cut it in until some pea-size pieces remain. Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days; freezer storage is suitable. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats.
