- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
- Let the apple crisp cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For a spicier crisp, add a pinch of ginger or allspice to the filling. You can also substitute other types of apples, such as Gala or Fuji.
