How to Make Cinnamon Apple Crisp

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Peel, core, and slice 4-6 medium apples (adjust amount based on pan size; see notes). Arrange apples evenly in the prepared dish.
In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup raisins, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional).
Drizzle ⅓ cup apple juice, ¼ cup honey, and 2 tablespoons olive oil over the dry ingredients.
Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. For a 9x13 inch pan, expect closer to 40 minutes. For a smaller pan, reduce baking time accordingly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or your favorite topping for an extra delicious treat!
