Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking dish
  • large bowl
  • separate bowl
  • Pastry Cutter

Ingredients
  

Apple Filling

  • 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)

Optional Toppings

  • vanilla ice cream
  • caramel sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Make the Apple Filling

  • In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to coat the apples evenly. Then, spread the apple mixture evenly in your prepared baking dish.

Prepare the Crisp Topping

  • In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks crumbly and coarse, with some pea-sized butter pieces.

Assemble and Bake

  • Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. You want the topping to be golden brown and the apples bubbling and tender.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce if you like. Enjoy this cozy and delicious dessert!
