Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- optional vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake 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 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
