Instructions to Make the Apple Crisp

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your delicious apple crisp:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples with granulated sugar and cinnamon until they’re fully coated.
  3. Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and mix until crumbly.
  5. Evenly distribute the crumbly topping over the apples, ensuring all the apples are well covered.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Serve your apple crisp warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Enjoy this delightful dessert that feels like a warm hug in a dish. Happy baking!
