Equipment

Square 8x8 Baking Pan

Ingredients

Apple Filling

6 apples peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Crisp Topping

¾ cup rolled oats
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup light brown sugar packed
½ cup finely chopped pecans
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter diced cold
Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or 7-inch x 11-inch baking dish.
Place the apples into the greased baking dish; add the sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon on top, stir and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter using a fork or your hands until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crisp topping mixture over the apple mixture.
Bake until the crisp topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Once your apple crisp has cooled down, you can cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the fridge for 4-5 days. When you're ready to eat, just pop a slice into the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. If you're in a hurry, microwaving works too, but the oven keeps the topping crispier.

Freezing: Once cooled, place your apple crumble in a freezer-safe container or wrap it tightly with aluminum foil and then a layer of plastic wrap, and it should keep well for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw it in the fridge overnight and then follow the reheating steps.
