Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

6 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (to thicken)

For the Crisp Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

A pinch of salt

Optional for Serving:

Vanilla ice cream

Whipped cream

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it's hot and ready for your delicious apple crisp.

    Prepare the Apples: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Toss everything together until the apples are well-coated. Set this mixture aside to let the flavors meld.

      Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix them together thoroughly. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the dry ingredients are nicely coated and crumbly.

        Assemble the Dish: Spread the apple mixture evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Then, sprinkle the crisp topping generously over the apples, covering them completely.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. You may want to cover it loosely with aluminum foil for the first 20 minutes to prevent over-browning, then remove it to let the topping crisp further.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 10 minutes. This will help the juices thicken a bit more. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of coziness!
