Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons salted butter divided (see notes for unsalted)
- 5-7 apples peeled and diced or sliced (about 6 cups) I used Fuji apples
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon divided
- Juice of one lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar divided
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar or white sugar, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 (or equivalent) baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Mix the diced apples in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, and the lemon juice. Spread evenly in the buttered baking dish.
- To make the topping, add the oats (1 cup), flour (1/2 cup), the rest of the brown sugar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to a food processor. Cut the remaining 7 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and add on top. Pulse the food processor about 8-10 times, or until small, pea-sized chunks of butter form and the rest of the mixture has combined well. Alternatively, you can use your hands to do this in a bowl or a pastry cutter.
- Spread the topping on top of the apples in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar (1 tablespoon) evenly on top, if using. At this point, you can cover with foil and refrigerate for up to 48 hours before baking, if you want.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until browned on top and bubbly on the edges. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if you prefer.

Notes
- If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt to the topping mixture.
- Instead of all-purpose flour, you can make it healthier by using whole wheat flour, or for a gluten-free version, you can use 1/2 cup more oats and pulse in your food processor a little more to make sure more oats are ground up.
- You can keep this apple crisp out at room temperature for a few hours, but I recommend refrigerating it beyond that. Just pop it in the microwave or stick it back in the oven to reheat.
- I used fuji apples for this because they are naturally sweet, which meant I could use less added sugar. If you use a more tart apple, like granny smith, I recommend using only 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and adding 2-4 more tablespoons of sugar to the recipe.
