This Sweet Apple Crisp with Oat Topping is a cozy fall dessert that combines tender, cinnamon-spiced apples with a buttery, golden oat crumble. Simple to make yet irresistibly delicious, it’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Ingredients

6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup granulated sugar, divided

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tbsp lemon juice

Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, ¼ cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Fold in nuts if using.
  4. Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over the apples.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Add dried cranberries or raisins for extra tartness.

Use coconut oil or plant-based butter for a vegan version.

Replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if needed.

Drizzle caramel or maple syrup over the top before baking for a richer flavor.

Make ahead and refrigerate unbaked crisp for up to 1 day before baking.
