Ingredients
6 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and chopped (or other baking apples, chopped or sliced)
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup old fashioned oats (or quick oats)
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 the oven to 350°F and butter or lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and kosher salt.
- Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the topping over the apples and gently pat it into an even layer.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges.
- Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or salted caramel sauce if desired.
