Description
A comforting apple crisp with tender apples topped with a crunchy, buttery oat topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 medium firm baking apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Core and slice the apples into 1/4-inch slices, toss with lemon juice, sugars, spices, and cornstarch; set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until coarse clumps form and stir in nuts if using.
- Butter a 9×13 baking dish and spread the apple mixture evenly. Sprinkle the topping over the apples and press lightly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden and juices bubble. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crisp.
- Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for best flavor, and keep butter cold for a flakier topping.
