I originally posted this recipe in the fall of 2020, but since then, I have tweaked it with some extra cinnamon and a splash of lemon juice to make it even better.
Apple Crisp is one of those desserts that seems to signal the start of fall. I can’t think of a better aroma coming from the oven that says, “autumn has arrived!” We are lucky enough to have an apple tree that produces an abundance of apples each year. Apple crisp has always been my go-to recipe when the apples are ripe and ready.
I love this apple crisp because it’s both quick and straightforward. I also love it because it is absolutely delicious. It’s easy to cut the recipe to make individual or smaller servings instead of making one large pie or dish. The recipe below calls for an 8×8 baking dish. You can also use a pie dish, but I’ve found the square one works better for this recipe. I hope you enjoy the apple crisp as much as we do.

Apple Crisp
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups Apples (peeled and chopped) 4-6 apples
- ¾ tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Topping
- ¾ cup Packed Brown Sugar
- ½ cup Flour
- ½ cup Oats
- ¾ tsp Cinnamon
- ¾ tsp Nutmeg
- ⅓ cup Butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Peel and chop the apples into small cubes.
- Mix together the apples, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Arrange the mixture into your 8x8 greased baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

- Pop it in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until apples are soft and the topping is golden brown.
- Enjoy.
