Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling
  • 6 cups sliced apples (such as Granny Smith) Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Prevents browning and adds a zesty contrast.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice your apples thinly and toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning. Place them in a greased baking dish.
Topping Preparation
  1. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Pour the melted unsalted butter over the mixture and stir until it becomes crumbly and coats all the ingredients.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Evenly distribute the topping over the apples in your baking dish.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
  3. Let your apple crisp cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or coconut flakes to your topping. If combining different crisps, keep the apple mixture and topping separate until baking to maintain a crispy texture. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
