A delightful twist on the classic apple crisp, featuring a crunchy oat topping and spiced apple filling.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly butter a baking dish.
Use a glass or ceramic dish for even baking.
Peel, core, and slice the apples, then toss them with lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
Cut the apples into uniform slices for even cooking.
Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove in a bowl, then combine with the apples.
Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Spread the apples evenly for uniform baking.
Melt the butter in a pan, then mix in the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to create the topping.
Mix until the topping resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture.
Press the topping gently to ensure it adheres to the apples.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Check halfway through to prevent over-browning.
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
