Easy Apple Crisp

Steps

1. 1.

   1.

   Prep the fruit** Heat oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Toss apple slices with sugar, 1 tbsp flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and ginger if using. Spread in a baking dish.

2. 2.

   Make the topping

   In a bowl, mix oats, 80 g flour, brown sugar, and salt. Rub in cold butter with fingertips until clumpy and damp-sand textured. Some pea-sized bits of butter are fine.

3. 3.

   Assemble easy apple crisp

   Sprinkle topping evenly over apples. Don't pack it down hard. Loose topping crisps better.

4. 4.

   Bake until bubbling

   Bake 35-40 minutes until topping is golden and fruit juices bubble at the sides.

5. 5.

   Cool briefly

   Rest 10 minutes so the filling thickens. Serve warm with ice cream if you want.

6. 6.

   Check doneness

   If apples still feel firm when you poke with a knife, bake 5-10 minutes more. Different varieties cook at different speeds.
