A simple recipe for a classic apple crisp featuring tender baked apples and a crunchy oat and brown sugar topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4 inch thick pieces. Place the apple slices in a large bowl.
  3. Toss the apples with lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, nutmeg, and salt for the topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier topping, chill the topping mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before sprinkling it over the apples.
  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor balance.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
