Filling
- 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice your apples into even pieces. Toss them with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a large bowl to evenly coat and let the flavors meld.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Cut the cold butter into the mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it forms coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
- Assemble and Bake: Transfer the spiced apple mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping generously over the apples. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and tender.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Apple Crisp to cool for about 15 minutes to let the juices thicken before scooping. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Mix tart and sweet apple varieties for balanced flavor and texture.
- Keep butter cold to ensure a crunchy topping.
- Handle the crumble topping gently to maintain a flaky texture.
- Bake until the topping is golden and filling bubbles for perfect softness.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for best enjoyment.
