Final Thoughts

Step-by-Step: Apple Crisp Like Grandma Made

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter.

2. Prepare the apples:
Peel, core, and slice apples into thin wedges. Toss lightly in 1 tbsp lemon juice to prevent browning.

3. Mix the oat topping:
In a bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and stir until crumbly yet slightly cohesive—don’t overwork. (You can add a handful of oats mixed with a little yogurt for a moister, chewier crust.)

4. Assemble the crisp:
Spread apples evenly in the dish. Cover generously with the oat mixture, pressing gently to adhere. For extra crispness, broil under for 3–4 minutes until golden.

5. Bake:
Bake 40–45 minutes,akes gently until apples are tender and topping crisp and golden brown.
