Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss to coat evenly and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
