Ingredients
6 cups apples, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Peel, core, and slice your apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Add them to a large mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until evenly coated. Spread the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. In another bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms moist crumbs.
3. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the apples in the baking dish.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the apples are bubbling.
5. Let the apple crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Use firm apples like Granny Smith for best texture.
Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge and reheat in oven for crispiness.
