Notes
- Prepare the apple crisp up to the point of adding the topping and refrigerate covered if making ahead; add the topping and bake when ready.
- A mix of firm apples, such as tart Granny Smith and sweeter Fuji, provides balanced flavor and texture.
- Keep butter cold when preparing the streusel topping to maintain a crumbly texture after baking.
