CINNAMON APPLE CRISP🍎

Ingredients:

Spiced Apples:

6 golden delicious apples, peeled and sliced (or chopped; other varieties can be used)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Crisp Topping:

1 cup light brown sugar

3/4 cup old-fashioned oats (quick oats can be substituted)

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of kosher salt

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced into small cubes

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir to coat the apples evenly, then transfer them to the prepared baking dish.

In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, diced butter. Using a pastry cutter, forks, or your hands, blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.

Evenly spread the topping over the apples in the baking dish. Gently pat the topping down to create an even layer.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
