Ingredients

• 6 large Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of flour to the apples. Toss everything together until the apples are well-coated. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the oats, 1/2 cup of flour, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the cold, cubed butter to the oat mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract, then evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the apples in the baking dish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 8

Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
