Easy Apple Crisp

If you're like me during the fall and love to stock up on apples and then suddenly don't know what to do with all of them, this easy apple crisp recipe is for you. This apple crisp recipe has perfectly tender pieces of apple with cinnamon and a delicious oat-based crisp topping that gets so beautifully golden. Top with vanilla ice cream, always.

INGREDIENTS FOR THIS CRISP RECIPE:

• Granny smith apples
• Cinnamon
• Lemon juice
• Granulated sugar
• Light brown sugar
• Old fashioned oats
• All-purpose flour
• Unsalted butter
• Nutmeg
• Salt

KITCHEN EQUIPMENT YOU'LL NEED:

• Peeler
• Pairing knife
• Cutting board
• Two bowls
• 9x9 baking dish (or similar size)
• Measuring cups

HOW TO MAKE THIS APPLE CRISP:

• Step 1: Peel and cut your apples into 1" pieces. Combine them in a bowl with cinnamon, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
• Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine the light brown sugar, old fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently stir to combine.
• Step 3: Cube your butter and add to the oat mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture to get coarse pieces.
• Step 4: Pour your apple mixture into your baking dish and top with the oat crisp topping. I like to squeeze the topping together as I pour it down so that I get some larger chunks.
