For 6 servings
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square or a 9-inch round baking dish with butter.
Prepare the apple filling. In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples with the lemon juice. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/8 tsp salt. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Make the crisp topping. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry topping ingredients. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible. Do not overmix.
Assemble and bake. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is deep golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling thickly around the edges.
Rest and serve. Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the filling to set. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping mixture for extra crunch and flavor.

Replace two of the apples with two firm pears, such as Bosc or Anjou, for a delightful flavor combination.
Both apples and rolled oats are excellent sources of dietary fiber, which is crucial for digestive health, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and promotes a feeling of fullness.
Apples are rich in antioxidants like quercetin and flavonoids, while cinnamon is also packed with powerful antioxidants. These compounds help combat oxidative stress in the body.
Firm, crisp apples that hold their shape during baking are best. A combination of tart apples like Granny Smith and sweet apples like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Braeburn provides a wonderful balance of flavor and texture.
Yes. You can assemble the entire crisp (without baking) and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. You may need to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time. Alternatively, you can bake it completely, let it cool, and refrigerate. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes until warm.
Cover the cooled apple crisp tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It can be enjoyed cold or reheated in the microwave or oven.
This can happen if the butter was too warm or if the topping was overmixed. Using very cold butter and mixing just until coarse crumbs form is key. Also, ensure you're using old-fashioned rolled oats, not instant oats, which can become mushy.
Apple Crisp is a dessert and contains sugar and butter, so it should be enjoyed in moderation. However, it does offer some health benefits from the apples and oats, which are great sources of dietary fiber and antioxidants.
