Ingredients:
For the Apple Filling:- 6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup brewed TWG Golden Earl Grey tea (use 2 tea bags or 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for a thicker filling)
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a deep pie dish and set aside.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brewed Golden Earl Grey tea, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. If you prefer a thicker filling, stir in the cornstarch. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the Crisp: Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
- Serve:
Let the apple crisp cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
The Golden Earl Grey tea adds a sophisticated touch to the traditional apple crisp, enhancing the natural sweetness of the apples with a delicate, aromatic citrus note. The warm spices and buttery oat topping create the perfect comforting dessert that embodies the essence of autumn.
Enjoy this autumnal twist on a classic dessert, and let TWG’s Golden Earl Grey tea bring an extra layer of warmth and elegance to your fall baking!
