A cozy fall dessert featuring tender cinnamon apples and a buttery oat crumble, baked until golden and bubbly. Perfect for a weeknight treat or a gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (about 3 lbs), such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
  3. Add lemon juice, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  9. Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier topping, you can add 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the oat mixture.
  • Adjust the sugar in the apple filling based on the sweetness of your apples and your preference.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
  • This apple crisp can be assembled ahead of time and baked when ready. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
