There is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven when the weather starts to turn chilly. This apple crisp is a staple in my kitchen because it is simple to put together and always satisfies that craving for something sweet and comforting.

My favorite way to serve this is warm from the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you have extra apples on hand, feel free to mix varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp to get the perfect balance of tart and sweet in every bite.

Ingredients

6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

6Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish.
2
Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl, then spread them evenly into the prepared baking dish.
3
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, and brown sugar together.
4
Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it looks like coarse crumbs.
5
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
6
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can easily reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick treat. This dessert pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
