Applesauce Crisp with Oats
This easy applesauce crisp with oats combines tender apples, cinnamon applesauce, and a buttery brown sugar oat & pecan topping. It's a cozy fall dessert that’s so yummy when served warm with vanilla ice cream!
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 2 cups sweetened cinnamon applesauce
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced about ¼ inch thick)
Oat Crumble Topping
- ¾ cup salted butter (melted; 1 ½ sticks)
- 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup crushed pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13" or 3-quart baking dish.
- In your baking dish, mix together the applesauce, ½ cup of brown sugar, and sliced apples.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, and optional pecans. Stir until crumbly, like wet sand.
- Scatter the topping over the apple filling without packing it down.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling bubbles around the edges, the apples are tender, and the topping is golden.
- Cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best topping texture.
- Slice apples about ¼ inch thick so they soften without disappearing.
- If using unsweetened applesauce, add 2 extra tablespoons brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
- Pecans are optional; omit them or use walnuts.
- Refrigerate leftovers 3–4 days; reheat uncovered at 350°F for the best texture.
