• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare your pie plate by spreading 1 tsp of butter across the bottom and up the sides. Set aside.
  1 tsp (5 grams) unsalted butter, softened
• Wash, peel and core your apples. Cut them into chunks about ½ inch wide and transfer them to a bowl. You don't have to worry about having your apple pieces uniform in shape or size.
  7 medium size apples
• Toss your apples with the sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Transfer your apple mixture to your prepared pie plate.
  2 tbsp (25 grams) sugar, 1 tsp (3 grams) ground cinnamon, 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice

Prepare the topping

• In a medium size bowl combine the brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to combine.
  1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar, ¾ cup (75 grams) oats, ¾ cup (110 grams) all purpose flour, 1 tsp (3 grams) ground cinnamon, ½ tsp salt
• Break the softened butter up in pieces and add it to the bowl.
  ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
• Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix in the butter until it is thoroughly combined with the dry ingredients in the bowl. Your final texture should look like pea-sized clumps of dry ingredients.
• Using your hands transfer the topping to your pie plate and spread it evenly so that all of your apples are covered. Press down with your hand to make a compact topping. If you like, take some extra butter and dot the top of your crust with it.
• Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 50 - 60 minutes until your filing is bubbling and your crust is golden brown.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving.
• Apple crisp is best served warm or at room temperature.
• Enjoy!
