Ingredients:
- For the Filling:
-
- 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- For the Topping:
-
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Topping: In another bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the Crisp: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
