Ingredients
Gathering the right ingredients is the first step in crafting a memorable Apple Crisp. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 6 cups of sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are excellent choices)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
If you’re feeling adventurous, consider adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping for a bit of crunch. And if you’re out of brown sugar, a bit of extra granulated sugar with a touch of molasses will do the trick!
Instructions
Follow these steps, and you’ll be enjoying a delicious Apple Crisp in no time:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are well coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. The aroma filling your kitchen is a good indicator of its readiness!
- Let the Apple Crisp cool for a few minutes before serving.
