Tips for a Perfect Butterscotch Apple Crisp:


  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly and evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overmix the topping: Overmixing will make the topping tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a deep dish baking dish: This will prevent the filling from bubbling over.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
