Preparation
For the Chai Spice Apple Filling:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and spices. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss well to coat.
Pour apple mixture into prepared baking dish and set aside while you make the crumb topping.
For the Oatmeal Chai Crisp Topping:
In a large bowl, combine the oats, both sugars, spices, and flour. Add in the cubed butter and, using two forks or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Serve warm! Preferably with ice cream.
