Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp

Few desserts say fall quite like warm apple crisp! Tender cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery brown sugar and oat crumble make this classic dessert hard to resist—especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

For the Apples:

• 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

For the Crisp Topping:

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour.
3. Spread the apples evenly in the prepared baking dish.
4. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
8. Let cool slightly and serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
