Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (quick oats work well)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar-sized pie plate.
- Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss everything gently until the apples are evenly coated.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the buttery oat topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips. Work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Do not overmix; you want it crumbly.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple filling. Press it down lightly.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the apple crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve this warm apple crisp with oat topping alongside vanilla ice cream for the best experience.
Notes
- For the best texture, use a mix of tart and sweet apples.
- If your topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
- This simple fruit crisp recipe tastes wonderful the next day, but it is best served warm from the oven.
