**Recipe for a Cozy Autumn Apple Crisp**
**Ingredients:**
- **For the Filling:**
- 6 cups apples (about 4-5 medium apples), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (to thicken)
- **For the Crisp Topping:**
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat Oven:**
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. **Prepare the Apple Filling:**
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish or a similarly sized oven-safe dish.
3. **Make the Crisp Topping:**
- In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter to the mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. **Assemble and Bake:**
- Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the apple filling in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
5. **Serve and Enjoy:**
- Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
This apple crisp is a perfect fall dessert, combining tender, spiced apples with a crunchy topping. It’s easy to make and sure to warm up any chilly evening. Enjoy your cozy treat!
