Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly) Granny Smith apples
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup (packed) Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup (cold, cubed) Unsalted butter
- 1 quart (optional, for serving) Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, prepare the topping by combining the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the topping mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish, ensuring all the apples are covered.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling underneath.
Remove the apple crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
