How to Make Honey Apple Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced).
  3. In a large bowl, toss the apples with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup honey, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour the apple slices into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
