I had a few tart apples that needed using, and an apple crisp felt like the easiest way to turn them into something warm and homemade. The recipe keeps things simple with thinly sliced apples and a brown sugar, oat, and cinnamon topping. It comes together without a long ingredient list, which makes it handy when you want an uncomplicated fruit dessert.
The apples become tender as they bake, while the streusel topping turns golden and crumbly with a buttery cinnamon flavor. Served warm, it has a nice contrast between the soft fruit underneath and the textured topping. If you enjoy apple-based bakes, Apple Cinnamon Crumb Muffins and Sticky Toffee Pudding Cookies are also worth trying.
