Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

For the crisp topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled
For the apple filling:
2 pounds firm, sweet apples (4 to 5 medium-large apples)
Up to 1/4 cup water
For serving (optional):
Vanilla ice cream or heavy cream
Equipment: 8-inch-square baking dish, preferably ceramic, glass, enamel-coated cast-iron, or stainless steel (avoid aluminum or uncoated cast-iron)

Steps:

Make the crisp topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter pieces and use your fingers to rub the mixture together until the butter is incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the apple filling.
Make the apple filling:
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F.
Peel the apples and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the cores and discard. Cut the apple halves lengthwise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick slices-there should be about 6 cups total. Transfer the apple slices to an ungreased 8-inch-square baking dish and spread them out evenly. Drizzle up to 1/4 cup of water over the apples-use less water if the apples are particularly juicy.
Scatter the crisp topping evenly over the fruit without pressing down on it. Bake until the topping is browned, the apples are tender when pierced with a knife, and the juices are bubbling, about 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm, with or without a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream. DO AHEAD: Apple crisp can be baked, cooled completely, covered, and kept at room temperature for 1 day. Reheat, uncovered, in a warm oven until heated through.

Tips:

Use a variety of apples. This will give your apple crisp a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
Don't overpeel the apples. A little bit of peel adds flavor and texture to the crisp.
Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help prevent them from browning.
Toss the apples with sugar, flour, and spices. This will help them to caramelize and brown in the oven.
Don't overmix the filling. You want the apples to retain their shape.
Use a combination of oats, flour, and butter for the topping. This will give the crisp a crispy and flavorful crust.
Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Conclusion:

Apple crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect apple crisp every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this classic recipe a try.
