2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Crisp Topping:
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread the apples evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve: Let the apple crisp cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
To refresh the topping, consider adding a layer of fresh oats and brown sugar when reheating.
