How to Make Applescotch Crisp
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups peeled and sliced apples, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup milk. Mix well.
- Pour the apple mixture into an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3.4 oz (1 package) butterscotch pudding mix.
- Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients 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. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)!
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!
