Equipment

  • 1.5 Qt casserole

Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 4 c diced apples = 3 lg or 4 med. apples
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • tsp ground nutmeg
  • tsp ground allspice

Crumb Topping

  • ¾ c rolled oats
  • ½ c AP flour
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a small casserole dish (1.5-2 qt), stir together apple filling ingredients (apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice). Break up any pockets of dry ingredients and toss all apples to coat evenly.
  • In a separate medium bowl, stir together oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt.
  • Rub in cubed cold butter: working with your hands, combine butter into dry ingredients to form large clumps. Continue until all butter is incorporated and a crumbly pastry is formed.
  • Break off pieces of pastry and scatter to top apple filling completely. Some loose clumps are okay.
  • Bake crisp on middle rack of oven on 375°F for 30-35 minutes, until topping is golden brown.
  • Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy as is or with ice cream or yogurt. Cover and refrigerate leftovers up to 5 days.

Notes

We make this with butter but plant-based butter sticks work great, too!
Try this oat crumb topping on a variety of fruits: peaches, pears, cherries, etc.
