How to Make Apple Date Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 4 medium apples (about 6 cups).
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1 cup pitted dates, chopped.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup rolled oats, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Pour the apple and date mixture into a greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples and dates.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
