Ingredients
  

Apple Filling
  • 6 medium Granny Smith Apples Peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 0.25 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Crisp Topping
  • 1.5 cups Rolled Oats Old-fashioned or quick-cooking
  • 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 0.5 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter Cold, cut into small pieces

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large Bowl
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pastry blender or fork

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple filling.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the topping is browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a combination of apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. You can also add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.
