- For the Apple Filling, peel and slice the Granny Smith and Gala apples. Toss them with lemon juice, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, orange zest, salt, apple pie spice, and ground ginger in another bowl.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Then, sprinkle the crisp topping over the apples.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Serving
- Serve the Sheet Pan Apple Crisp warm. Scoop generous portions onto plates and top with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat.
Notes
If you have leftovers, let the apple crisp cool completely before storing. Cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for best flavor balance. Ensure butter is very cold for a crunchy topping. Consider toasted nuts for added flavor.
