There is no shortage of everybody’s favorite crumbly topping in this version of the old-fashioned classic!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Slice the apples into bite-sized chunks. Place in a large mixing bowl and combine with the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss to combine and pour into a baking dish big enough to fit all the apples.
To make the crumb topping, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, light brown sugar, salt, oatmeal and butter. Beat on low for 1 to 2 minutes, until the butter is broken up into small bits. Crumble the mixture evenly over the apples.
Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment, and bake for 1 hour, or until the topping is brown and the apples are bubbling.

I went apple picking today and came right home and made this! It was absolutely wonderful! For some reason I had a lot of crumbs left over, but we nibbled on it while we waited for it to bake! Really great recipe! (:

I made this today and I have to say it was wonderful! This is my new go to Apple Crisp recipe. Thanks for sharing!

I made a half-batch of this the other night for my crisp-loving hubby. His verdict?? Good, but too sweet. I had seen other comments on here about reducing the sugar, but wanted to try the original recipe first. I was shocked by the sheer amount of butter, and ashamed when I realized I had eated about a quarter a stick of butter! Still, it’s a very good recipe! And maybe worth the butter shame!

I made this last night and it was absolutely delicious! I cut back on the sugar from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup. Then I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on top once I put the crumb topping on the apples. Next time, I would probably cut down the topping amount. I placed all my apples in a pie dish, and I had twice the amount of topping that I needed. I really piled it on, and I still had a bunch left!

Oh my word!!! This recipe is hands down the BEST apple crisp I have EVER had! It was so simple to make (I even let my 4 & 6 yr old help) and tastes incredible. Had it for Thanksgiving in 09 and made it again for friends who loved it & asked for the recipe. Perfect amount of topping (altho I must say I’m tempted to double it, since our family is all about the crisp) add some ice cream on top and it’s perfection!
