This easy old-fashioned apple crisp is made just like Grandma used to, with tender spiced apples and a buttery, cinnamon oat topping. Perfectly baked until golden brown and bubbly, it’s the ideal dessert for fall—especially when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce!
Ingredients:
- 6 golden delicious apples (peeled and chopped)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (diced into small cubes)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter an 8×8 baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped apples, granulated sugar, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter, forks, or your hands until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Sprinkle the topping over the apples and gently pat to even it out.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy!

Chef Tips:
- If you’d like to avoid watery crisp, add a little flour to the apple mixture.
