Ingredients for Apple Crisp

  • Apple
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour + 1 cup all-purpose flour for topping
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sugar
  • Egg
  • Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

How to Make Apple Crisp

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups).
  3. In a large bowl, toss the apples with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional).
  6. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

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!
