Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients:
 
 

Apple Filling

  • 3 large apples, cored, peeled (optional), and sliced into ¼ inch slices
  • ⅓ cup apple juice
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Crisp Topping

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats (rolled oats)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions:
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.

Apple Filling

  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, apple juice, lemon juice, corn starch, cinnamon, and salt. Then pour it into the prepared baking pan.

Crisp Topping

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over the top of the apples.
  • Sprinkle the crisp topping over the apples and bake for 45-50 minutes. Once you see the top is golden brown and the apples are soft, you know it's done. Use a toothpick to check how soft the apples are.
  • Let the apple crisp cool for about 15 minutes before serving with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
  • Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes:

Baking Pan: Grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square baking dish with non-stick spray. You could also bake this in a pie plate.
Apple Slices: Thin and even apple slices are important for even baking. I recommend slicing your apples into ¼ inch slices.
Mix Ingredients Thoroughly: For both the apple filling and the oat topping, be sure to combine all of the ingredients thoroughly. I like to use my wooden spoon to ensure that everything is mixed together completely.
