Ingredients

For the Filling:

900 grams medium apples mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (6 medium apples)
50 grams granulated sugar ¼ cup
50 grams light brown sugar ¼ cup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Topping:

100 grams old-fashioned oats 1 cup
65 grams all-purpose flour ½ cup
100 grams light brown sugar packed ½ cup
50 grams granulated sugar ¼ cup
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
115 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed ½ cup
60 grams chopped pecans or walnuts optional ½cup

To Serve:

Vanilla ice cream
Caramel sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
Stir until the apples are well coated.
Spread them evenly in the baking dish.
In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in chopped nuts if using.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the apples are soft when poked with a fork.
Let it cool for 5-10 minutes so the juices settle.

Notes

For an extra caramelized topping, sprinkle a little extra brown sugar over the crisp in the last 10 minutes of baking. It adds a delicious crunch!
Use a mix of apples – Combining tart and sweet apples creates the best flavor.
Don’t skip the lemon juice – It brightens the filling and keeps the apples from turning brown.
Keep the butter cold – This makes the topping crisp and crumbly.
Let it rest before serving – This helps the juices thicken slightly for the perfect texture.
