Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the apple filling:
- 6 granny smith apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
For the crisp topping:
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- Peel and cut your apples into 1" pieces. Add them to a bowl with the cinnamon, lemon juice, and sugar. Mix to combine and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine all ingredients for the topping except the butter - light brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Cube the butter then add to the topping bowl. With your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until you get coarse pieces.
- Add your apples into your baking dish and top with the oat mixture. If you want bigger crisp pieces, clump together some of the topping as you're pouring it on.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until nice and golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream!
