Ingredients
For the Apple Filling
- 8 Granny Smith Apples cut into ½" slices
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup (192g) Light Brown Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons (24g) Corn Starch
- 2 teaspoons Apple Pie Spice*
For the Crisp
- 18 Crackers (278g) Cinnamon Graham Crackers crushed**
- ½ cup (96g) Light Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 2 sticks (226g) Unsalted Butter melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat your Traeger grill or pellet smoker, ideally with apple pellets, to 400ºF with the lid closed.
- Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice and vanilla before adding the brown sugar, corn starch, and apple pie spice. Add the apples to a large skillet or baking dish. (You may need to arrange the first 2-3 layers by hand to maximize space in the skillet.)
- For the crisp topping, mix the crushed graham crackers with the brown sugar and salt before adding the melted butter and vanilla. Stir until fully combined.
- Add the crisp on top of the apples, pressing down to create and even surface.
- Smoke for 60-70 minutes until the top is crispy golden brown. (You may need to rotate the apple crisp halfway through for even browning.)
- Grate fresh lemon zest over the top of the finished apple crumble while warm and let everything cool for 15-20 minutes before serving with vanilla bean ice cream.
Notes
*Apple pie spice is typically made with a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cardamom. Pumpkin pie spice is very similar but with the addition of cloves. You could get away with the swap in a pinch, or you could make homemade apple pie spice.
**Regular graham cracker crumbs work fine. You can add an extra pinch or two of ground cinnamon if you'd like.
You can bake this apple crisp in a 375ºF oven for 45-50 minutes.
