How to Make Grammy's Apple Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 6-8 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced).
  3. In a large bowl, toss the apples with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the margarine into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream (Grammy's recommendation!).
