Classic Apple Crisp

Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, cold and cubed

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

All-purpose flour

1/2 cup

Brown sugar

1/2 cup

Old-fashioned oats

1 cup

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Granulated sugar

1/4 cup

Apples

6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of the ground cinnamon, and the lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Set this aside.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, remaining flour, remaining cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the apples.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve warm. For an extra touch of indulgence, top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
