Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 cups apples peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large bowl
  • Peeler
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In the same bowl (no need to wash), combine 1 cup of flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir to mix.
  5. Add the cold butter pieces to the dry topping ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  8. Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
