Ingredients
  

Apple Filling Ingredients

  • 7-8 cups thinly sliced apples (about 6-7 large apples)
  • cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Crisp Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cut into thin slices
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • For the apple filling, peel and core the apples. Cut into thin slices. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Pour the apple mixture into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • For the crisp topping, mix the brown sugar, old-fashioned oats, and flour. Add the thin slices of butter and mix with a pastry blender or forks until the mixture is combined but crumbly. It should be coarse with large clumps present. Add pecans, if using.
  • Evenly distribute the crisp topping over the apples. Bake for about 45 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned, crisp, and the apples are bubbly around the edges.

Notes

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream while still warm, if desired.
