Ingredients

• 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0 optional vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

Step 4

Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
