Easy Apple Crisp is the perfect fall dessert. Loaded with sweet apples and topped with a crumb topping. It's my favorite easy alternative to apple pie!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 inch pie pan. Set aside.
To make the filling, in a bowl, combine apple slices, sugar, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, flour and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples. Place apples in prepared baking dish.
To make the crisp topping, combine all topping ingredients together in a bowl and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the apples.
Bake crisp in preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until topping has browned and edges are bubbly. Allow to cool several minutes before serving.

Notes

I have made this both with peeled apples and apples with the skin on. I prefer them peeled but this can be made either way!
