Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers, a pastry blender, or two forks to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the apple crisp cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. It is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice to the apple mixture.
- If you prefer a softer topping, you can slightly reduce the baking time.
- Store leftover apple crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
