The Method

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Peel, core, and slice the apples into about 1/4-inch thick slices.
3
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
5
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6
Spread the apple slices evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle the water over the apples.
7
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples.
8
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the topping is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
9
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the topping.

Add chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the topping for extra crunch.

You can prepare the apple crisp ahead of time and bake it just before serving. Store the topping separately if making more than a day in advance to prevent sogginess.

Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your apples.
