Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 6 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Prepare the Oven:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish.
  • Make the Filling:
    • In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and flour. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Make the Topping:
    • In another bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms clumps.
  • Assemble:
    • Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple mixture.
  • Bake:
    • Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Check at the 30-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
  • Serve:
    • Let the crisp cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix in 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts into the topping.
  • Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the apples.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
