How to Make Thanksgiving Apple Crisp

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, toss the apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared dish, pressing gently for a consistent layer.
In a medium bowl, stir together oats, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until fully blended.
Add cold butter cubes to the oat mixture and work until topping resembles coarse, golden crumbs.
Sprinkle the buttery oat topping over the apples and bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes until golden brown.
