Apple Mixture
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crisp evenly.
- Prepare Apples: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the peeled and sliced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until the apples are well coated and evenly flavored.
- Arrange Apples: Grease a baking dish lightly and spread the coated apple mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Make Topping: In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, and rolled oats. Cut the cold cubed butter into this mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs.
- Add Topping: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish, covering all the fruit.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For best flavor, use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the topping for extra crunch.
- If you prefer a spicier crisp, increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dessert can be made ahead and baked just before serving.
