A 9 x 14 x 2-inch oval baking dish or a 9 x 13-inch cake pan

Ingredients

5 lbs. McIntosh apples or Macoun apples

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

2 Tablespoons orange juice
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ packed cup light brown sugar
1 cup oatmeal
½ lb. butter diced and chilled
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preparing the Apples

Heat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 14 x 2-inch oval baking dish or a 9 x 13-inch cake pan.
Peel 5 lbs. McIntosh or Macoun apples.
Cut the apples into wedges or large chunks and place into a large bowl.
Zest lemon and add to the apples along with lemon juice. Zest orange and add to the apples along with orange juice. Then, add granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples.
Stir the apples until they are completely coated in the sugar, spices, and citrus.

Creating the Streusel Topping

Dice cold butter and add to a mixing bowl. Add all-purpose flour, sugar, packed light brown sugar, oats, and kosher salt to the bowl.
Mix using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer until the mixture is the size of small peas.
Work with your hands after mixing if necessary.
Pour the apples into the buttered pan and spread evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the streusel topping on top of the apples to coat them evenly.

Baking

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour. The top should get golden brown and the apples bubbly. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve with ice cream, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to dice the butter before adding it to the mixer. You will have a big mess if you add butter whole.
Every oven is a bit different. Make sure to check your apple crisp a little before the stated time to make sure it doesn't get overdone.
