To create a good texture for the apple crisp, the general rule of thumb is three parts fruit to one part topping. You can also swap out the apples for pears, nectarines, or peaches.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of ground cloves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 apples, 2 tart and 2 sweet
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar, light or dark
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Position a rack in the center of the oven.
  • To prepare the fruit, place the lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/2-inch wedges, tossing the pieces in the lemon juice as they are cut, to prevent browning.
  • To the apples, add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Toss to combine and pour into a buttered 8-by-8-inch square or oval baking pan. Scatter the butter on top.
  • Make the topping in the same bowl. Combine the oats, brown sugar, nuts, flour, salt, and optional spices. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender, a fork, or two knives. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit and bake on the center rack for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is dark golden and the apples are bubbling. Cool slightly on a wire cooling rack. Scoop out with a large spoon to serve in bowls.

Baking a pie from scratch takes a little patience, but watching your friends and family enjoy the results makes it all worthwhile.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 6h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling dough
1 recipe (2 disks) Basic Pie Dough for Apple Pie
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
4 pounds (8 to 10) apples, such as Empire, Granny Smith, Gala, Cortland, Winesap, or a mix
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Lightly flour a large piece of waxed paper; place a disk of dough in center. Rolling from center outward, form into a 12-inch circle. (Use paper to rotate dough, and flour rolling pin and paper as necessary to prevent sticking.) Transfer dough (still on paper) to a baking sheet; cover and refrigerate. Repeat with second disk of dough.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack set in lowest position. Remove first circle of dough from refrigerator; wrap around rolling pin (discarding paper), and carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate. Gently lift edges and lower dough into the pie plate so it hugs bottom and sides. Avoid stretching the dough, which will make it shrink during baking. Refrigerate.
  • Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel, core, and cut apples into 1/4-inch-thick slices; halve crosswise, and add to lemon juice (to keep them from turning brown) as you work. Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; toss to combine.
  • Remove dough-lined pie plate from refrigerator. Fill with apple mixture, gently packing apples and mounding slightly in center; dot with butter. Lightly brush rim of pie shell with water. Remove remaining circle of dough from refrigerator. Lay over apples; press along moistened rim to seal. Using kitchen shears, trim overhang to 1 inch.
  • With floured fingers, fold overhang under itself to form a thick rim; pinch between thumb and forefinger to form a uniform edge around the rim of the pie plate.
  • To crimp edges: With thumb and index finger of one hand, gently press dough against knuckle of other hand; continue around pie. (Deep indentations anchor dough on rim and prevent it from sliding down sides of pie plate during baking.)
  • With a floured paring knife, cut 5 to 6 slits in top of pie, radiating from center; place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes; reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake until crust is golden and juices are bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes more. If edges brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil. Cool completely, at least 6 hours, before serving.

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 core your apples before slicing them. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. The apples should be in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of brown sugar and white sugar. This will give your crisp a sweet and caramelized flavor.
  • Add some spices to your crisp. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all good options.
  • Don't overcook your crisp. It should be bubbly and golden brown on top, but the apples should still be slightly firm.

Conclusion:

Apple crisp is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tart apples, crunchy oat topping, and warm spices, it's the perfect way to end a meal. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting dessert, give apple crisp a try.
