Ingredients for Apple And Raspberry Crisp

  • 4 medium apples (about 6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • Frozen Unsweetened Raspberries
  • Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for filling) + ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for filling) + ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • Quick Cooking Rolled Oats

  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine

How to Make Apple And Raspberry Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 4 medium apples (about 6 cups).
  3. In a large 2-quart baking dish, combine the sliced apples with 2 cups of raspberries (fresh or frozen).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Pour the sugar mixture over the fruit in the baking dish and gently toss to coat.
  6. For the topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. (Microwave cooking is not recommended for optimal results).
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
