Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling
  • 6 to 8 medium tart apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Streusel Topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed Ensure butter is cold for crumbly texture
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl and add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to combine thoroughly.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Making the Streusel Topping
  1. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  2. Work in the cold butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the apple layer in the baking dish.
  2. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crunchy.
  3. Allow the crisp to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Variations include using pears or different apples for unique flavors. For a festive twist, add cranberries or a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
