A warm, cinnamon-infused apple base with a sweet, buttery oat crumble topping. Sheer, sheer perfection.

My sister was the one who introduced me to apple crisp… back when I was a wee little one. In fact, now that I think about it, she’s the one responsible for a lot of my baking adventures. I mean, she was the one who introduced me to meringue and lace cookies, after all.

When it comes to pie-baking, I can’t help but turn to a crisp-style recipe instead. I am not keen on making my own pie crust, and I just feel like “crisps” are a fantastic alternative.

Lemon Juice in the Apple Mixture

There are many reasons why pie and crisp recipes call for lemon juice. One of the reasons is to prevent the discoloration of the fruit in your pie/crisp.

Also, the lemon helps with flavor and in this case, it helps add some tartness to the apples.

For this recipe, you can also use apple cider in lieu of the lemon juice. It would offer a different flavor but still be equally tasty.

Ingredients

For the Apple Base

6 red apples peeled and chopped
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp lemon juice

For the Crumble Topping

1 cup brown sugar packed
