METHOD · 6 STEPS

prep · ~10 min
Preheat oven and prep the apples.
1.Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.
3.Toss apples in a large bowl with granulated sugar, 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
4.Transfer apple mixture to the baking dish and spread into an even layer.
TIPUse a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for the best flavor.
mix · ~5 min
Make the oat crumble topping.
1.In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
2.Add the cold butter cubes.
3.Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces visible.
TIPKeep the butter cold — this creates the crispiest topping. If the butter starts softening, chill the bowl for 5 minutes.
assemble · ~1 min
Assemble the crisp.
1.Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
2.Spread it all the way to the edges for full coverage.
TIPDon't pack the topping down — a loose sprinkle gives the best texture.
bake · ~40 min
Bake until golden and bubbly.
Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling thickly around the edges.
TIPIf the topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
rest · ~10 min
Rest before serving.
Remove from oven and let the crisp rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the juices to settle so the filling isn't too runny.
serve
Serve warm.
Scoop into bowls and serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a mix of tart apples like Granny Smith and sweet ones like Honeycrisp for a balanced flavor.
2
Keep the butter cold when making the topping — it creates flaky, crisp crumbles.
3
Don't pack the oat topping down; sprinkle it loosely for the best crunchy texture.
4
Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to catch bubbling juices and prevent oven mess.
5
Let the crisp rest 10–15 minutes after baking so the filling sets and doesn't turn soupy.
6
If the topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
