There’s nothing quite like the smell of a homemade apple crisp baking in the oven. This classic dessert is the perfect way to celebrate apple season, offering a mouthwatering mix of sweet apples, warming spices, and a crunchy oat topping. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (around 6-8 apples, depending on size)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
For the Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then transfer to your prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt until well combined. The mixture should be crumbly. Spread this topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Let the apple crisp cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
