Full Recipe Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 medium baking apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it in an even layer.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the fruit filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crisp. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
