Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.
- Spread the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best flavor.
- For a richer topping flavor, substitute half of the butter with melted coconut oil.
- If your apples are very tart, add one extra tablespoon of brown sugar to the apple mixture.
