This apple crisp is a staple in my kitchen when the weather turns chilly. There is something about the smell of cinnamon and baked apples filling the house that makes everything feel right.

My best tip is to use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. It creates a balanced flavor that keeps people coming back for a second scoop.

Ingredients

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

6Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking dish.
2
Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Spread the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
3
In a separate medium bowl, mix the oats, flour, and brown sugar together.
4
Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs.
5
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple layer.
6
Bake for about 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Tips

Serve this warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days and reheat them in the oven to keep the topping crunchy.
