Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup apple cider
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 pounds Granny Smith apples
2 pounds Honeycrisp apples
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • For the filling: Whisk together the brown sugar, flour, apple cider, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Peel and core the apples and cut into chunks. Add the apples to the brown sugar mixture and toss to combine.
  • Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
  • For the topping: Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter cubes and use your fingers to completely work the butter into the flour mixture. The mixture should hold its shape when squeezed.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling, squeezing some of the mixture into small clumps. Bake until the filling is bubbly, the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown, about 1 hour.
  • Let sit for at least 45 minutes and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

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 Pink Lady apples.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Leave some space between the apples so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of oats, flour, and sugar for the topping. This will create a crispy and flavorful topping.
  • Add some spices to the topping. This will give your apple crisp a warm and inviting flavor. Some good choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Bake the apple crisp until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
  • Let the apple crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to serve.

Conclusion:

Apple crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious apple crisp that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give apple crisp a try.
