Apple crisp is a delightful dessert that's both comforting and simple to make. For this easy recipe, you will need a few basic ingredients: fresh apples, sugar, oats, flour, and butter. To begin, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking dish.

Start by peeling, coring, and slicing around six medium-sized apples. Toss them in a bowl with a couple of tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the bottom of your dish.

Next, make the crisp topping by combining 100g of rolled oats, 100g of plain flour, and 100g of brown sugar in a separate bowl. Cut in 100g of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping generously over the apples.

Bake in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of clotted cream. This apple crisp is perfect for sharing on a chilly evening, with its delightful mix of sweet and tart flavours wrapped in a crunchy topping. Enjoy!
