For The Filling
- 8-10 cups sliced apples peeled & cored first (roughly 9-10 large apples)
- scant 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
For The Streusel Topping
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1 stick butter cut into 1" pieces
Making The Filling
In a large mixing bowl, add all of the filling ingredients and toss until evenly combined.
Lightly spray a 9x13" baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Pour the apple filling mixture into the dish, and spread them out evenly.
Making The Streusel Topping
Add the flour, oats, brown sugar, and nutmeg to a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together until evenly combined.
Add the butter pieces to the mixing bowl, and use a pastry cutter to blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly out over the prepared apple filling.
Bake the apple crisp at 375° for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling's thickened & bubbling.
Let the cooked apple crisp rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
