Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
Pinch salt
6 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch dice
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2½ pounds tart baking apples (about 5 large), peeled, cored and sliced ¼-inch thick
Lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a food processor, pulse the flour with the brown sugar, ¼ cup of the granulated sugar and salt until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and stir in the pecans and oats. Set aside.
  • Generously butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish. In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the remaining 6 tablespoons granulated sugar. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with the oat topping. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced and the topping is toasted. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The crisp can be frozen tightly covered for up to 3 months. Before serving, reheat it, uncovered, in a 300°F oven until heated through and crisp on top.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your crisp a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the apples with sugar, flour, and spices. This will help the apples hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Use a combination of oats, flour, and nuts for the topping. This will give the crisp a crunchy texture.
  • Press the topping down firmly onto the apples. This will help it stay in place during baking.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
  • Serve the crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
