Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your apple crisp bakes evenly.
2. Prepare the Apples:
Peel and slice the apples to make about four cups. A mix of sweet and tart apple varieties works wonderfully in this recipe. Toss the apple slices with a tablespoon of lemon juice to enhance their flavor and prevent browning.

3. Season the Apples:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gently toss the apples until they are evenly coated with this sweet and aromatic mixture.
4. Assemble in the Baking Dish:
Transfer the seasoned apple slices into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Make sure to spread them out evenly to create a uniform layer.

5. Create the Topping:
Now, let’s make that irresistible topping. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter. You can use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

6. Top the Apples:
Evenly sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples in the baking dish. This topping is what will transform your apple slices into a delightful, crispy dessert.

7. Bake to Perfection:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 40-45 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the topping to turn a beautiful golden brown, and the apples should become tender.

8. Serve and Enjoy:
Once your apple crisp is out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes. It’s perfect on its own, but if you’re feeling indulgent, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes a heavenly pairing.
