Ingredients

Topping

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter melted

Apple Filling

8 large apples peeled cored and chopped (Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, stir the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt together. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir with a fork until coarse crumbs form.
In a large bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice. Add the brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract and stir to coat. Spoon the mixture in the prepared casserole dish.
Spread the crumb topping over the apples as evenly as possible. Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes or until bubbly on the sides and golden brown.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can be reheated in the oven on low heat or microwaved at reduced power.
To freeze, cool thoroughly and cover with two layers of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. See more below about freezing apple crisp.
