This apple crisp layers sliced apples tossed in cinnamon and lemon juice under a buttery oat-and-brown-sugar topping that bakes up golden and crunchy. It's a straightforward dessert suited to weeknight dinners or holiday tables, best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 6 apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons flour until evenly coated.

  3. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.

  4. In a medium bowl, mix the oats, 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture forms clumps.

  5. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples, breaking up large clumps with your fingers.

  6. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges, 40 to 45 minutes.

  7. Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, with ice cream if desired.
