Apples are sliced thinly and then baked with a mixture of oats, flour, sugar, and butter, which forms the crisp and crunchy topping. The oats add a nutty flavor to the topping, while the flour helps to bind everything together. The sugar adds a touch of sweetness, and the butter helps to create a rich and creamy texture. Together, these ingredients combine to create a delicious dessert that is perfect for all occasions.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter to the dry mixture and stir until well combined. Place 4 cups of thinly sliced apples in the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish, and then spread the oat mixture over the top of the apples. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your apple crisp!
