Steps:
- Place rack in lowest position in oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees F ( 230 degrees C).

Apple crunch a la mode may just be the ultimate fall dessert that you need in your repertoire. This classic dessert is a delicious and comforting blend of tart apples, sweet and crunchy granola topping, and creamy vanilla ice cream. From its signature crunch to its perfectly baked apples, there is something irresistible about a warm and spiced apple dessert.
History
The traditional apple crunch recipe has its origins in the United States, with some adding their own spin on it to make it unique. While there are different interpretations of the apple crunch recipe, it generally consists of a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and of course, lots of apples. The addition of the ice cream, known as “a la mode,” is said to have begun during the 1890s in the United States. The term “a la mode” means “with ice cream” in French, leading to the addition of this classic pairing to the dessert.
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling
- 4 cups of peeled and sliced apples
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp of flour
- 1/2 Tbsp of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp of salt
- 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp of unsalted butter
For the Granola Topping
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
For the Ice Cream
- Vanilla ice cream
Preparation Method
Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is preheating, create the apple filling by peeling and slicing the apples into bite-sized pieces. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, stirring until everything is well combined. Add the lemon juice and apples to the dry ingredients, tossing until the apples are well coated.
The next step is to create the granola topping. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until everything is well mixed. Add the small pieces of butter to this mixture, using your hands to work into the mixture until it becomes a crumbly mixture.
Now take a baking dish and grease it with some butter. Spread the apple filling evenly in the dish, placing small pieces of butter over the apple mixture. Top the apple mixture with the granola mixture, spreading it evenly over the apple filling. Bake it in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the filling becomes bubbly.
Once the apple crunch is done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Assemble the dessert by placing a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the warm apple crunch.
Variations and Substitutions
You can customize the apple crunch recipe by switching up the type of apples used or adding additional ingredients to the filling mixture. Try using honeycrisp apples, which are known for their sweet-tart flavor and crisp texture, or granny smith apples for a more tart variation.
If you don’t have all-purpose flour on hand, you can use almond flour, coconut flour, or tapioca flour. You can also substitute the rolled oats with another type of oat, such as quick oats or steel-cut oats.
If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can serve the apple crunch with dairy-free ice cream or whipped cream. You can also skip the ice cream entirely and serve it as is or with a dollop of whipped cream.
Conclusion
The apple crunch a la mode is a classic dessert that is perfect for autumn and all those who love apples.
