A delightful twist on the classic apple crisp, this recipe combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg with a buttery oat topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the dish inside for even cooking.
Peel, core, and slice the apples, then arrange them evenly in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, then sprinkle this mixture over the apples.
Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your apples.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the butter and mix until crumbly.
Use cold butter for a better crumbly texture.
Spread the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
Press the topping gently to ensure it adheres to the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Check the crumble halfway through baking to ensure it doesn't brown too quickly.
Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
