Warm, tender apples topped with a golden, buttery oat crumble. This easy apple crisp is the perfect comfort dessert served with vanilla ice cream.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Toss sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread in prepared baking dish.
In a bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over apples.
Bake 40-45 minutes until topping is golden brown and apples are tender.
Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for best flavor. Don't overmix the topping - you want it crumbly, not smooth.
Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans to topping. Try adding 1/4 cup dried cranberries to apple mixture for color and tartness.
Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes to restore crispness.
