Ingredients
Scale
Spiced Apples:
- 6 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and chopped (other apple varieties can be used, or sliced)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats (quick oats can be used, but the texture will differ slightly)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled and chopped apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until well-coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish.
- For the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the topping over the apples.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Feel free to use any other variety of apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a different flavor profile.
- For a more nutty flavor, you can add chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) to the topping.
