Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and vanilla extract. Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
  4. Pour the apple filling into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Take handfuls of the crumble topping, squeeze gently to form clumps, and drop them evenly over the apples. Do not press the topping down.
  5. Place the dish on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is deep golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  6. Let the crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, preferably with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Notes

For best results, use a mix of firm tart apples (like Granny Smith) and sweet apples (like Honeycrisp). Keep the butter cold for a crumbly topping. Let the crisp rest for 15 minutes after baking to allow the juices to thicken. The crisp can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
