Ingredients

  • 6 cups of peeled and sliced apples
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest
  • 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest. Mix well to coat the apples evenly with the spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, prepare the crisp topping. Mix together the oats, 1/2 cup of flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts. Add the cold butter pieces and mix with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Transfer the apple mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the crisp topping over the apples, covering them completely.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
  8. Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  9. Enjoy!
