Warm Cinnamon Apple Crisp (Printable Version)

Baked tender apples topped with a buttery cinnamon oat crumble, best served warm with vanilla ice cream.

# What You'll Need:

→ Apples

01 - 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice

→ Filling

03 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

12 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
13 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square or round baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
03 - Combine granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss to coat evenly.
04 - Transfer the coated apples to the prepared baking dish and spread them out evenly.
05 - In a bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and work into the mixture using fingers or a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form.
06 - Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the apples. Bake for 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
07 - Let the dish cool slightly before serving warm, ideally accompanied by vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
