Ingredients

• 6 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.5 cup old-fashioned oats
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges (about 1/4-inch thick). Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apples, tossing to coat evenly. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Using your fingers or a fork, work the softened butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles wet sand. This will form your topping.

Step 6

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples, covering them completely.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
