Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling
  • 6 cups thinly sliced apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for balance of sweet and tart
  • ½ cup brown sugar Feel free to adjust according to your sweetness preference
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Enhances the flavor of the apples
For the Oat Topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats For that chewy texture
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute almond flour for a gluten-free option
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg Adds a warm, comforting aroma
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted Adds richness to the crisp
  • 1 pinch salt Balances the sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice the apples, placing them in a large bowl. Add half a cup of brown sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon, tossing to coat the apples evenly.
  3. In another bowl, combine the remaining brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.
  4. Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the oat topping over the apples, ensuring a generous layer covers them completely.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is nicely golden and the apples are bubbly.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes
