Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Filling:
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Crisp Topping:
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a bowl, mix the apple pie filling, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the Crisp: Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence!
Notes
- Why do you put lemon juice over the apples when making an apple crisp? It helps balance sweetness and prevents the apples from browning.
- Why is my apple crisp topping not crispy? Using melted butter can make the topping soggy. Always use cold butter for the best texture.
- For a crunchier topping, sprinkle turbinado sugar before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
