Ingredients

• 6 pieces apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups old-fashioned oats
• 0.5 cups packed light brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
• 1 scoop per serving vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch (or similar size) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

To the apples, add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and nutmeg. Stir together until well mixed.

Step 5

Add the cubes of cold butter to the dry mix. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
