Apple Crisp
Description
This Apple Crisp uses peeled, cored, and sliced medium baking apples, which provide a firm texture that softens pleasantly during baking. The fruit is coated with granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, and warm spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, which enhance the natural sweetness with aromatic depth. The crisp topping combines rolled oats for chewiness, all-purpose flour for structure, both brown and granulated sugars for sweetness and caramel notes, and melted salted butter for richness, pressed together to form the crumble.
Baked at 350°F, the dish is cooked on a rimmed baking sheet to catch drips. The apples become tender and juicy, while the topping develops a lightly browned, slightly crisp texture, creating a pleasing contrast. Apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well to provide balance between tartness and sweetness.
Adjust sugar amounts based on apple variety or personal taste. Using salted butter adds seasoning, but if using unsalted butter, add a quarter teaspoon of salt. This dessert stores well and can be reheated gently to restore warmth and texture.
