Infused Apple Crisp (A Warm, Spiced Start to Fall)

There’s a moment in late August when the first crisp apples hit the shelves and suddenly you want everything warm, cinnamon-scented, and bubbling out of a baking dish. This infused apple crisp is that moment, elevated. Tender spiced apples under a golden oat-and-brown-sugar topping made with cannabutter — cozy, shareable (with the right crowd), and easy enough for a weeknight.

Why You’ll Love It

• One bowl for the filling, one for the topping — no mixer, no fuss.
• The cannabutter lives in the crumble topping, so dosing stays even from scoop to scoop.
• It’s just as good chilled the next day (store it labeled and out of reach — more on that below).

Ingredients

Apple filling

• 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Pinch of salt

Crumble topping

• ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons cannabutter, cold and cubed
• 3 tablespoons regular unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with regular butter.
2. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly coated. Spread into the baking dish.
3. In a second bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Add the cold cubed cannabutter and regular butter to the oat mixture. Work it in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse, clumpy crumbs.
5. Scatter the topping evenly over the apples — even coverage is what keeps servings consistent, so take your time here.
6. Bake 40–45 minutes, until the topping is deep golden and the filling bubbles at the edges. If the topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes (keeping the temperature at 350°F protects the THC, which degrades above roughly 390°F).
7. Cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Portion into 9 even squares so each serving carries a similar dose.

Dosing & Safety Notes

Using 3 tablespoons of cannabutter infused at roughly 15–20 mg THC per tablespoon gives the whole dish about 45–60 mg total — approximately 5–7 mg THC per serving when cut into 9 squares. Your numbers depend entirely on your butter’s potency, so do the math with your own infusion before serving. A few ground rules:

• Start low, go slow. Edibles take 30–90 minutes to kick in and can last several hours. One square, then wait.
• Label leftovers clearly and store them away from kids and pets — ideally in a locked or out-of-reach container.
• Never serve infused food to anyone without their knowledge, and keep it to adults 21+ where legal.
• Know your local laws before making or sharing infused edibles.

Key Takeaways

• Cannabutter goes in the crumble topping only — spread it evenly for consistent dosing.
• Bake at 350°F; higher temperatures degrade THC.
• About 5–7 mg THC per serving with typical homemade cannabutter, cut into 9 squares.
• Wait 30–90 minutes before considering a second serving.
• Label and store leftovers securely, away from kids and pets.

FAQ

Can I use canna-oil instead of cannabutter?

Yes — swap in an equal amount of solid coconut-based canna-oil. Keep it cold so the topping still forms crumbs rather than a paste.

How strong will each serving be?

That depends on your infusion. With cannabutter around 15–20 mg THC per tablespoon, 3 tablespoons across 9 servings lands near 5–7 mg each. Always calculate from your own butter’s potency.

Does baking destroy the THC?

Not at this temperature. THC starts to degrade meaningfully above about 390°F, and the inside of a 350°F crisp stays well below that.

How should I store leftover infused apple crisp?

Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days in a clearly labeled container kept away from children and pets. Reheat gently or enjoy cold.
