Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (firm, tart variety like Granny Smith)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the sliced apples and stir until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the spiced apples to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish and spread them out evenly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well using a fork or your fingers to break up any clumps.

Step 5

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
