Ingredients
Scale
6 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for apples)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for apples)
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 (for topping)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
In a separate medium bowl, prepare the topping. Mix the oats, 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter cubes using a pastry blender or your fingertips. Work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly and tender when poked with a fork.
Let the crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Sasha suggests using a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
If your topping starts browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil for the remaining bake time.
