Description
A straightforward recipe for a classic baked apple crisp with a crumbly topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for apples)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for apples)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Place the seasoned apples evenly in the prepared baking dish.

- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
