How to Make Apple Crisp With Orange Juice

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 10-inch pie plate with butter or cooking spray.
Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Gently toss the apples in 1/4 cup orange juice.
Mound the apples into the prepared pie plate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Let cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
