Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup salted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and ground cinnamon. Toss to coat the apples evenly and transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In a separate bowl, prepare the crisp topping. Mix together the rolled oats, brown sugar, remaining flour (2 tablespoons), and ground nutmeg. Stir until well combined.
Pour the melted butter over the oat mixture and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake the apple crisp in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Scoop portions of the warm apple crisp into bowls and top each serving with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
