Yummy Apple Crisp Recipe

This easy apple crisp is perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! It’s made the old-fashioned way, just like Grandma used to make it!

Here's What You'll Need:

• 6 delicious red apples, peeled and chopped ( can also be sliced)
• 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced into small cubes
• pinch of kosher salt

Now, let's put it together:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.  Butter an 8×8 baking dish, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Or you can use a cast iron skillet! Set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, add chopped (or sliced) apples, granulated sugar, 3/4 tsp of the cinnamon and lemon juice.  Stir to combine, then transfer to prepared baking dish.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, add topping ingredients (brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, salt, and diced cold butter).  Combine the butter into the oat mixture, using a slight downward twisting motion, until mixture resembled pea-sized crumbs.  Alternatively, you can use two forks or even your hands to cut butter into the mixture.
4. Spread your yummy topping over apples in baking dish, and gently pat to even it out.  Bake for about 40-50 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
5. Serve warm and enjoy! Don't forget the side of vanilla ice cream ;)

Oh! And if you want to make it extra special, add a little caramel drizzle on top or whipped cream!  (chefs kiss)
