Ingredients
- 6 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Prepare the Apples
- Peel, core, and slice apples. Place them in a bowl and add lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon.
Mix the Apple Filling
- Toss apples until sugar and cinnamon coat all slices evenly. This adds flavor and helps soften apples while baking.
Prepare the Topping
- In another bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar and salt. Stir until combined for a crunchy oat mixture.
Add Butter to Topping
- Cut cold butter into small pieces and add to the topping. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly.
Assemble the Crisp
- Spread apple mixture in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
Bake the Apple Crisp
- Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and apples are soft.
Cool Slightly
- Let the apple crisp cool for 5–10 minutes. This helps the juices set and makes it easier to serve.
Serve Warm
- Spoon the crisp into bowls. Optionally, top with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Enjoy
- Serve and enjoy the comforting taste of apple crisp. The crunchy topping and soft apples are perfect together.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor.
- Cold butter helps create a crunchy topping.
- Add chopped nuts to the topping for extra texture.
- Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top before baking for aroma.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth.
