For the Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
How to Make This Apple Crisp
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar-sized pan.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Toss the apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until the apples are evenly coated.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 2: Make the Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can also use a fork or a food processor for this step.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Step 3: Bake the Crisp
- Place the crisp in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly and soft.
- Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
