Ingredients

• 6 whole Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar

• 0.5 cups Butter, unsalted and melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Place the slices in a mixing bowl.

Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to incorporate.

Step 6

Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract over the oat mixture. Stir until the topping forms a crumbly texture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the apple crisp cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
