Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Apples: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until the apples are evenly coated with the spices and sugar.
- Arrange Apples: Spread the coated apples evenly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even layer for uniform baking.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Top the Apples: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple layer, covering the fruit completely.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples underneath are bubbling and tender.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- For additional crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the oat topping.
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for the best balanced flavor.
