How to Make Apple Crisp With Corn Flakes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups).
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  4. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Place half of the sliced apples in a greased 9x9-inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle half of the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Layer the remaining apples on top, followed by the rest of the crumble topping.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then drizzle evenly over the crisp.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

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!
