How to Make Apple Scotch Crisp
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups peeled and sliced apples, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Mix gently to combine.
- Pour the apple mixture into an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional).
- Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
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!
