Cheesecake Factory Apple Crisp Recipe

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 medium apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice prevents browning
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg optional but magical
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  • Prep the Apples
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss sliced apples in lemon juice to keep them looking fresh.
  • Mix in sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside while you tackle the topping.
  • Make the Crumble Topping
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, and brown sugar. Add cold cubed butter.
  • Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Yes, it’s supposed to be lumpy. That’s your crisp magic.
  • Assemble the Apple Crisp
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer the apple mixture evenly at the bottom.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples, making sure it’s fully covered. No skimping here.
  • Bake to Perfection
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and apples are bubbling around the edges.
  • Pro tip: Place a baking sheet under the dish in case the juices bubble over. Kitchen cleanup is no one’s favorite.
  • Cool Slightly & Serve
  • Let it cool for 10 minutes to avoid lava-level burns. Then scoop, serve, and maybe sneak a taste straight from the pan.
