Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the sliced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and mix until all of the apples are evenly coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium size bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well coated and crumbly. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes until fruit is soft and the topping is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!

Yum. Very easy to make. I used half the sugar, just a personal preference, added a bit more cinnamon, and doubled the topping, as others suggested. This will be my go-to apple crisp recipe. By the way, people say McIntosh apples aren't good for baking but I used them and it was just fine.

This was excellent though a little sweet for our taste. The apples could have had too much sweetness. At any rate, next time I will half the sugar in the apples. This had a good crispiness in the topping.

I gave this recipe for stars because the portions aren't correct. It tastes really good I like to make it all the time whenever I have apples ready to go bad. I think it's perfect if you do the right amount of apples and the amount of apple ingredients for one batch and then you double the amount of topping ingredients

Excellent! Best crisp recipe I’ve tried. I added a full tsp of cinnamon to apples, a TBLSP of lemon juice to apples, an extra TBLSP of butter and an extra 1/8 c of oats to dry ingredients. It was perfect!

I made this recipe using King Arthur measure for measure gluten-free flour . It is gooey (versus being too dry because of not enough sugar or butter) & absolutely delicious.
