This crisp features a streusel topping made of oats, flour, butter and sugar. The oats, which crisp up into crunchy morsels in the oven, give it its name.
Ingredients
3 Cortland apples, peeled, cut into 1/2-in. thick slices (about 4 cups)
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cut into 1/2-in. thick slices (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg, (optional)

1 cup large-flaked rolled oats
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
