Instructions

Preheat Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish.
Prepare the Apples – In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla, and flour. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Make the Topping – In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Assemble & Bake – Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are soft and bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Cool & Serve – Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with ice cream or whipped cream!

Notes

For a nuttier crunch, add ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping.
If you prefer a less sweet crisp, reduce the sugar in the apple filling to ¼ cup.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
