- 1/2 cup (113g) light brown sugar
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Oatmeal Chai Crisp Topping:
- 8 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into cubes
- 1 and 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
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 60 - 70 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. (You can tent with foil if the crumb gets too brown)
- Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Serve warm! Preferably with ice cream.
