Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 9 medium apples or 9 cups sliced or diced
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the topping:

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold salted butter cubed or grated keep in the fridge until you are ready for it

Instructions

  • 1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or olive oil and set aside.

Make the filling:

  • 1) Peel apples (or leave the skin on).* Slice apples, make sure to keep them about 1/4 inch thick to avoid mushy apples.**
  • 2) Add apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl. Continue stirring until the apples are completely coated with the mixture.
  • 3) Pour or scoop the mixture into your greased baking dish. Set aside while you make the topping.

Make the topping:

  • 1) Mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  • 2) Cube the butter (or use a cheese grater to grate the butter) and add to the mixture. Use two forks to crumble the butter into the mixture until it starts to become crumbly. I personally use my hands for this, as it seems to work best!
  • 3) Once crumbled, sprinkle the mixture over your filling in the baking dish.
  • 4) Bake at 350 degrees for 6o minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling starts to bubble.
  • 5) Enjoy! Top with a scoop of ice cream, caramel sauce, and whipped cream to take this dish to the next level!

Notes

I recommend storing apple crisp in the fridge if you have any leftovers. Stored correctly, it's good for about 3 to 4 days.
*You do not need to peel the apples. I try to waste as little food as possible and that includes not peeling apples if I don't need to. Choose what works for you!
**Cubing or slicing apples is a personal preference. Cubed apples are easier for little mouths but the sliced apples remind me of old-fashioned apple crisp.
All out of old-fashioned oats, but wondering if you can use instant oats? That should work just fine.
