Apple Filling:
- 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt

👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the apples: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon juice, nutmeg, and salt.
- Make the topping: Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in the nuts if using.
- Assemble: Spread the apples evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle the crisp topping generously over them.
- Bake: Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool slightly: Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. 🍨🍎
Tip: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a combination of sweet and tart apples work especially well.
