Apple Crisp without Oats

Tender apples topped with buttery brown sugar streusel work together perfectly when making an apple crisp without oats! Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the entire family was scraping their bowls clean and asking if there was any more of the crisp.

Apple Crisp without Oats

Inspired by an abundance of apples and a craving for a warm apple crisp on a day when we had run out of oatmeal, (how does that even happen?!) I decided that an apple crisp without oats needed to be a thing.

After all, we make crumbles and streusel for coffee cakes and muffins using just a bit of flour, sugar, and butter, right? Why couldn’t that same logic apply to an apple crisp? I’m happy to tell you that it does work and it works deliciously!

Apple Crisp Recipe without Oats

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the sliced apples in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Toss the apples in the spices to coat. Transfer the apples to a greased 10-inch baking dish.

In the same mixing bowl used for the apples, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.

Add the softened butter and use a fork to mix the butter into the dry ingredients, until little crumbles form. Sprinkle over the apples in the baking dish.

Bake until the filling is bubbling and the crisp topping is golden brown, about 35-38 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve the apple crisp warm topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
