Homemade Apple Crisp is made with a sweet fresh apple filling and a crunchy streusel crumb topping made with crispy oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon for a deliciously warming sweet treat! It's the perfect dessert during the fall or cold winter months, especially when served with a scoop of my homemade vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients
- 8 cups peeled, chopped, tart baking apples (about 6 apples)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup flour all purpose (or whole wheat)
- ½ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
- ½ cup cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a 3 quart baking dish (9x9 or 9x13 will both work -- 9x13" will bake a little more quickly), stir together apples, sugar, corn starch and cinnamon until apples are coated.
- In a medium bowl, combined oats, flour, brown sugar and cold butter with a pastry cutter, fork or even your hands, until combined. It should resemble cookie dough when done and easily hold together when pressed.
- Crumble oat mixture over fruit in pan and press down slightly.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, until oats are golden brown and filling is thick and bubbly at the edges.
- Serve warm with ice cream or as desired.

Notes
Ingredients and Substitutions:
Apples: I like to use granny smith apples when possible but any firm baking apple will work: Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala work as well.
Cinnamon: I added just a bit of cinnamon to this recipe so that it wasn't overpowering. If you really like cinnamon, you can increase to 1 teaspoon or add some in the topping as well.
Oats: I prefer rolled oats for texture but quick oats will work in a pinch. Steel cut oats will not work in this recipe.
Flour: almost any kind of flour will work here, even gluten free! Gluten free oat flour would be my first choice for making this recipe gluten free.
