Apple Crisp
Apple Crisp features sliced tart baking apples covered with a crumbly topping of flour, sugars, pecans, oats, and cold butter, baked until the apples are tender and the topping turns golden brown. The texture contrasts between soft baked apples and toasted oat-pecan crumbs with a sweet, buttery flavor. It is often served warm alongside whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, making it a classic dessert for cooler seasons.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed, 2 tablespoons
- ½ cup granulated sugar divided, plus 2 tablespoons
- Pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into ½-inch dice, very cold
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 2½ pounds baking apples peeled, cored and sliced ¼-inch (6-mm) thick, tart, about 5 large
- Whipped Cream for serving (optional, or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position.
- In a food processor, pulse the flour with the brown sugar, ¼ cup (50 g) of the granulated sugar, and salt until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and stir in the pecans and oats. Set aside.
- Generously butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish. In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the remaining 6 tablespoons granulated sugar. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with the oat topping. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced and the topping is toasted. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The baked crisp can be frozen, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. Before serving, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it, uncovered, in a 300°F (150°C) oven until heated through and crisp on top.
