Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
- Vanilla ice cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the apple slices with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt.
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping 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 bubbling.
Allow the crisp to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
