How to Make Apple Crisp The Neely S
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Prepare the Apple Filling:** In a large bowl, combine 6 cups peeled and sliced apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently toss to coat.
- Divide the apple mixture evenly among 6-8 oven-safe ramekins or a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- **Make the Crisp Topping:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional).
- Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple filling in the ramekins or baking dish.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If using a 9x13 inch dish, increase baking time to 45-50 minutes.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
