Apple crisp is one of those classic Fall dishes that I look forward to making each year. The combination of apples and spices seems to always be my first indication that the holiday season is fast approaching. I recently stumbled across this recipe and found it to be the perfect ratio of apples, sugar, spice, and crumb topping. Also, the leftovers make a delicious topping for pancakes or waffles.
Apple Crisp
Serves 4-6
7 large apples (I used a mix of Granny Smith and Cameo)
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup water
¼ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
½ tsp salt
1 ½ Tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 cup flour
1 stick cold unsalted butter
½ cup quick cooking oats
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice apples into 2 inch pieces (I like to leave the skin on).
In a large bowl, mix the apples with lemon juice and ½ tsp. cinnamon; set aside.
In a food processor, pulse the sugars, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and oats with the cold butter; I find it’s easier to slice the butter into 6-7 tabs before adding it so that everything combines nicely. The mixture should resemble pea-sized crumbs.
Add apples to a greased 9 x 13 baking dish and cover with the crumb mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees covered with foil for 30 minutes; then remove foil and bake another 30-40 minutes.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream – although it’s also delicious on its own!
Enjoy!
