Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (firm, tart variety like Granny Smith)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the sliced apples and stir until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the spiced apples to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish and spread them out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well using a fork or your fingers to break up any clumps.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish, covering them completely.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
