My old-fashioned Apple Crisp recipe combines warm cinnamon apples with a buttery oat topping for the perfect cozy dessert! Top this easy apple crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert everyone loves!
Spray 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Apple Crisp Topping:
Add flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk together to combine. Using clean fingers, work the softened butter into the flour mixture until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator until apple filling is prepared.
Apple Crisp Filling:
Combine apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, butter, and salt in a large bowl, tossing to make sure apples are well coated. Pour into prepared casserole dish.
Top apples with Apple Crisp Topping and bake until the apples are tender and top of apple crisp has turned golden brown, about 45 minutes.
