Honey is a natural sweetener.

Add all-purpose flour, white sugar, brown sugar, rolled oats, and grape nuts into a mixing bowl.

Pour in melted butter and stir the mixture together until combined.

Set the topping mixture aside.

Peel the apples, using a mixture of Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples.

Cut each apple into quarters and remove the core from each quarter.

Slice the apples into approximately quarter-inch slices and place them in a mixing bowl.

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the sliced apples and toss to coat, preventing browning.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add brown sugar and white sugar to the melted butter, stirring until the sugar melts into the butter.

Add a pinch of cinnamon to the mixture, being cautious of the heat to prevent burning.

Once the sugar has melted and resembles a caramel sauce, add the sliced apples and a tablespoon of water to the skillet.

Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring continuously until they soften and are coated with the caramel sauce.

Transfer the apple mixture to a standard size casserole dish (approximately 2 to 2.5 quarts) and even it out.

Sprinkle the topping mixture over the apples without pressing it down.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the topping is browned and a caramel sauce is bubbling around the edges.

Let the apple crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
