  3. Scatter the oat crumble generously over the apple filling so it covers the surface.

Notes

Pro tip: Let the crisp rest before scooping—this thickens the filling and keeps the topping crisp. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat at 350F until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended for best texture. For a gluten-light swap, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in the crumble if desired.
