Ingredients:

  • 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala), peeled, cored, and sliced (approx. 900g / 2 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (25g) (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15ml)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (28g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g) (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g) (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (113g)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C/Gas Mark 5).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly. Dot with butter pieces.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Optionally chill for 15 minutes for an extra-crisp topping.
  5. Pour the apple filling into the baking dish. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly. The apples should be tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
