Warm Cinnamon Apple Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream - Your New Fall Obsession

6 medium apples (about 900g) – use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp – peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the topping:
1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting) → about 1/2 cup = 2 oz
1/2 cup (110g) light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed → 1 stick

To serve:
Vanilla bean ice cream
Caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking dish.

Combine sliced apples with both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Mix well, then pour into the baking dish and spread evenly.

In a medium bowl, mix oats, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut in using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts if using.

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly, and apples are fork-tender.

Let cool for 5–10 minutes. Scoop into bowls, top with vanilla bean ice cream, and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
