How to Make Comfort Me With Apple Crisp

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and position rack in the center.
Generously butter two individual gratin dishes (approximately 6-inch diameter) or a single 9-inch pie dish.
Make the topping: Combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and ½ cup chopped pecans in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with no large pieces of butter visible.
Set aside the topping.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, gently combine 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), ½ cup raisins, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
Pour the apple filling into the prepared baking dish(es).
Evenly sprinkle the topping over the apples.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before serving.
Serve warm (not hot) with a scoop of premium vanilla ice cream.
