Method
- 01
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter an 8×8-inch or similar 2-quart baking dish.
- 02
Toss the sliced 6 medium apples with the 2 tbsp granulated sugar, ½ tsp of the ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated.
- 03
Spread the apple mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
- 04
In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, remaining ½ tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, and ¼ tsp salt. Stir to mix.
- 05
Add the 6 tbsp cold butter cubes to the oat mixture. Use your fingertips to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse, clumpy crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
- 06
Scatter the topping evenly over the apples, covering them completely edge to edge.
- 07
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the topping is deep golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling up around the edges.

Let the crisp rest for at least 10 minutes before serving so the juices thicken slightly.
