Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced thin)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 0.75 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0 optional Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar size.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apple slices are evenly coated. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, prepare the topping by combining the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry topping mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs and starts to clump together slightly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish, ensuring all the apples are covered.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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