Notes

  • Baking dish sizes: Use a baking dish that provides enough space to accommodate the fruit filling and the crumble topping while allowing for even baking, in this case, about 8x12 in/ 20x32 cm. However, you can use a slightly smaller baking dish if you prefer a thicker crisp. Just keep in mind that the baking time may need to be adjusted accordingly if you use a different-sized dish.
  • Apples: Choose apples that hold their shape during baking, like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn apples.
  • Sugar: You can use only white sugar instead of a mixture of brown and white sugar. Just replace the brown sugar with the same amount of white sugar.
  • Optional: Add one teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to the crisp mixture. You could also use allspice, cardamom, or a bit of ground ginger. Add chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts) or a handful of shredded coconut.
