How to Make Applescotch Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  4. 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.
  5. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. 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.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)!
