There are plenty of ways to celebrate apple season, but this might just be one of our favourites; there's nothing more perfect on a brisk fall day than a batch of classic apple crisp with a cool scoop of vanilla ice cream (just like Grandma used to make!).
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup large-flake oats
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cut into 1/2-in.-thick, 1 1/2-in.-long slices (8 cups)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Ice cream, (optional)
PREHEAT oven to 375F.
TOPPING: Stir flour, oats, brown sugar, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Grate in butter and work in, using fingertips, until crumbly with some sandy texture remaining. Refrigerate.
FILLING: Toss apples, granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl. Transfer to an 8-in. baking dish or pan.
SPRINKLE topping evenly over apples. Bake until top is golden and juices are bubbling around edges, about 30 min. Let cool for 2 hr. Serve ice cream on the side of apple crisp with oats.

Crumble is very similar to a crisp, but its soft streusel topping doesn’t contain oats. Instead, nuts are often used to give it an extra bite.
