Ingredients:

  • 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6-8 medium apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
  2. Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Make the crisp topping: In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and stir until crumbly and well mixed.
  4. Assemble the crisp: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, covering them completely.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
  6. Serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
