Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crisp evenly.
  2. 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.
  3. Arrange Apples: Grease a baking dish lightly and spread the coated apple mixture evenly across the bottom.
  4. 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.
  5. Add Topping: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish, covering all the fruit.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
