Old Fashioned Easy Apple Crisp

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.  Butter an 8x8 baking dish, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add chopped apples, granulated sugar, 3/4 tsp of the cinnamon and lemon juice.  Stir to combine, then transfer to prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, add topping ingredients (brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, salt, and diced cold butter).

Step 4

Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the oat mixture, using a slight downward twisting motion, until mixture resembled pea-sized crumbs.  Alternatively, you can use two forks or even your hands to cut butter into the mixture.

Step 5

Spread topping over apples in baking dish, and gently pat to even it out.  Bake 40-50 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.

Step 6

Serve warm and enjoy! We love to top ours with some vanilla bean ice cream, or whipped cream.
