Homemade Apple Crisp

Ingredients

For the Apple Filling:

• 6-8 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Crisp Topping:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
3. Transfer the apple mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
4. In another bowl, mix together the old-fashioned rolled oats, whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
5. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown, and the apples are tender and bubbling.
7. Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
8. Serve your Homemade Apple Crisp warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
