Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon Crisp

  • 6 medium apples (about 4 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • Margarine
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • Sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Crisp

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the apples with the cinnamon, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and salt. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
