Ingredients

  • 6 apples, peeled and sliced

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Customizations

This apple crisp recipe is easily customizable to suit your taste preferences. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
  • Experiment with different varieties of apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Add a handful of chopped nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds to the topping mixture for some extra crunch.
  • Swap out the cinnamon for other warming spices such as nutmeg or ginger.
  • Serve the apple crisp with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet and salty flavor combination.

Tips and Tricks

  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pre-sliced apples to speed up the prep process.
  • Don't have a 9×13 inch baking dish? Use a similar sized dish or a large pie dish instead.
  • Make sure your butter is cold when mixing it into the topping mixture – this will help create those deliciously buttery crumbs.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds.
