When the weather gets cooler and apples are in season, nothing hits the spot like a warm, buttery apple crisp fresh from the oven. Sweet apples baked with cinnamon and topped with a crunchy oat topping – this dessert is pure comfort food and a true fall classic.
📝 Ingredients:
For the filling:
6 cups apples, peeled and sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice
For the topping:
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, toss apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
