Old Fashioned Easy Apple Crisp

Ingredients

Apple Filling

• 6 golden delicious apples, peeled and chopped
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Oat Crumble Topping

• 1 cups light brown sugar
• 3/4 cups old fashioned oats
• 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 1/2 cups cold unsalted butter, diced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
2. Grease an 8x8 baking dish or a deep-dish pie plate with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
3. Peel, core, and chop the apples into bite-sized chunks.
4. Toss the apples in a large bowl with the granulated sugar, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
5. Transfer the apple mixture into your prepared baking dish.
6. Combine the brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, and salt in a separate medium bowl.
7. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples, patting it down gently.
9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling around the edges.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

For the best texture, use a mix of apple varieties like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith. If you have time, serve with a generous scoop of high-quality vanilla bean ice cream.
