Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and lemon juice, tossing gently to coat the apples and prevent browning.
-
Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples, and mix until the apples are evenly coated with the sugar and spices.
-
In a separate bowl, prepare the crisp topping by combining the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
-
Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the crisp topping over the apples, covering them completely.
-
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
-
Once done, remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
