There is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven on a crisp autumn afternoon. This recipe is a favorite in my house because it is simple to put together and tastes just like home.

I recommend using a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it extra special for your family or friends.

🧺 Ingredients

6 cups peeled and sliced apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl, then spread them evenly into a baking dish.
3
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, and brown sugar together.
4
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
5
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
6
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling.
7
Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can easily reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven. This dessert pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
