💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

• Firm semi-tart to tart apples are best, such as Granny Smith, Jonathon apples, Braeburn apples, Pink lady apples, etc.
• Everyone's oven is different. If your streusel topping starts getting too dark but your apples aren't fully cooked, simply cover your baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil until done.
• Storing: Leftover apple crisp with oats should be covered and refrigerated for up to 4 days.
• Reheating: Quickly warm up individual portions in the microwave, or the entire baking dish in the oven at  350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
