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

- 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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown, and the apples are tender and bubbling.
- Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve your Homemade Apple Crisp warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
