How to Make Baked Apple Crisp

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (or a mix of apples and pears).
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss the apples with 4 ounces (113g) of packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 8x8 inch or 9-inch pie dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup (113g) of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (60g) rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. 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 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the topping browns too quickly, cover the edges of the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or Greek yogurt.
