Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss 6 peeled, cored, and sliced tart apples with 1/3 cup honey, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Transfer to a 9-inch square baking dish.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 1/3 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple mixture. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling and tender.
  4. Step 4: Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving warm. This crisp pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic Missouri-inspired dessert.
