Apple Crisp with Oat Crumble

Tender cinnamon apples bake under a buttery oat crumble for an easy fall dessert that stays crisp at the edges and saucy underneath.

Apple Crisp with Oat Crumble

A good apple crisp has two textures: soft fruit underneath and a crumble that browns instead of turning sandy.

Slicing the apples evenly helps them soften at the same pace.

The topping uses oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter for a balance of chew and crunch.

Press a few clumps together with your fingers before scattering it so the top bakes into craggy pieces.

Let the crisp rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

The filling thickens as it cools slightly, and the topping stays distinct from the apples.
