Equipment
- 8×8 inch baking dish
Ingredients
Filling
- 6 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) peeled, cored, and sliced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
Instructions
Preparation
- 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, ½ cup flour, brown sugar, ½ 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.
