🍎 Apple Crisp

Chef notes

Way easier than apple pie because there's no crust to deal with. You just slice the apples, toss them with sugar and cinnamon, dump the oat topping on, and bake. The topping gets all crunchy and caramelized while the apples underneath get soft and bubbly. Really good with ice cream on top.
