Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 6 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Choose apples for their tartness and sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice To prevent browning.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon Essential spice for apple crisp.
  • a pinch salt
Topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats For a chewy texture.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar The secret to deep flavor.
  • ½ cup butter, softened For a rich crumble.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Spread them in an even layer in a greased baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and softened butter. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Evenly distribute the crumb topping over the apple mixture.
Baking
  1. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Serving
  1. Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. It's heavenly with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top!

Notes

Feel free to add nuts or dried cranberries for a fun twist. You can swap apples with pears or use half applesauce instead of butter for a healthier option.
