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
• 0 Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix well.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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