Ingredients

Apple Crisp Filling

  • 8 cup Apples cored, peeled, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Apple Crisp Oat Topping

  • ¾ cup Oats
  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • ½ cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 3 to 6 quart dutch oven with non stick spray.
  • Wash, peel, and core the apples, then cut into slices and toss with the lemon juice.
    8 cup Apples, 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • Place the sliced apples in the Dutch oven and add the sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
    ½ cup Sugar, ⅓ cup Flour, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Stir the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and flour together until evenly combined.

Make The Oat Topping

  • Mix the oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl.
    ¾ cup Oats, ½ cup Brown sugar, ½ cup Flour, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Mix in the softened butter completely into the oat, sugar, cinnamon, and flour mixture. The oat topping will be lumpy like cookie dough. Crumble it over the top of the apples in the Dutch oven.
    ½ cup Butter
  • Place the Dutch oven with the apple crisp in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the apples are bubbling up. To prevent the topping from over browning, lay a piece of aluminum foil loosely on top. Cool for apple crisp for 10 to 15 mins before serving.

Notes

  • For a more tart crisp, use Granny Smith apples. For a sweeter crisp, use Honeycrisp or Cosmic Crisp apples.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can bake this crisp in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • To prevent the topping from burning, cover the crisp with foil for the first 30 mins of baking.
