Ingredients
For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 tablespoons butter cut into tablespoon pieces, cold unsalted
For the apple filling:
- 10 cups apple about 8 medium apples, sliced and peeled, Granny Smith variety
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13- inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- First, make the apple crisp topping. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix in the cold butter pieces with your fingers or a pastry cutter until it comes together and large clumps form. Set the topping aside. If it is warm in your house, you can put the topping in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and corn starch. Stir until the apples are well coated.
- Pour the apple mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are soft and bubbling around the edges.
- Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes
- Granny Smith apples provide a crisp apple flavor and hold texture well, but mixing with Honeycrisp or Fuji apples adds complexity.
- Lemon juice prevents the apples from browning while preparing the filling.
