Ingredients
6 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter an 8×8 or 9-inch round baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon flour.
3. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
4. In another bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Add cold, cubed butter to the topping mixture and mix with your fingers or pastry cutter until crumbly.
6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples without pressing it down.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until topping is golden and the apple layer is bubbling.
8. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to set.
Notes
Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
Don’t skip the oats—they’re essential for that golden, crunchy topping.
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving so the filling can set and thicken.
