Ingredients

• 4 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 1 scoop per serving Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 3

Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Sprinkle the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg over the apples. Stir to evenly coat.

Step 5

Add the lemon juice to the skillet and stir again. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the apples are tender but not mushy. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, and all-purpose flour.

Step 7

Add the cold, diced butter to the oat mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the mixture until it forms pea-sized crumbles.

Step 8

Preheat another skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the oat mixture to the pan and toast for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant.

Step 9

For serving, scoop the warm sautéed apples into individual bowls. Sprinkle the toasted oat crisp topping generously over the apples.

Step 10

Optional: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for extra indulgence.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy!
