Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 pinch pinch of salt

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking dish
  • large bowl
  • medium bowl
  • pastry blender or your fingertips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly and then spread the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Topping and Baking
  1. In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt for the topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then sprinkle evenly over the apple mixture.
  2. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly. Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of brandy or apple cider to the apple mixture. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
