Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

6 cups of Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced (about 6-8 apples)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For the Brown Sugar Oat Topping:

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional for Serving:

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Apples: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour until evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

      Make the Topping: In a separate mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the topping resembles coarse crumbs.

        Assemble the Crisp: Evenly spread the brown sugar oat topping over the apple filling in the baking dish.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.

            Cool and Serve: Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

              Serve: Optional – Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence!
