Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

  • 6 medium apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts chopped

To Serve:

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish. 8x8 will also work.
  • Combine the apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss until evenly coated and spread into the baking dish.
  • Mix the topping by combining the oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter cubes and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until coarse crumbs form. Stir in the nuts if using.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture.
  • Bake the crisp for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Cool the crisp for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to settle.
  • Serve the crisp toopped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • A mix of tart and sweet apples gives the best flavor and texture.
  • Fresh lemon juice keeps the apples from browning and brightens the flavor.
  • Keep the butter cold so the topping bakes up crisp and crumbly.
  • Double the recipe and use a 9x13 dish when serving a crowd.
