APPLE CRISP



Apple Crisp image

One of the definitive desserts of fall, apple crisp is easy and economical. Test kitchen tip: Empire, Gala, or Braeburn apples are especially good in this recipe.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
3 pounds apples, such as Empire, Gala, or Braeburn, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Cut butter into flour, using a pastry blender or two knives, until mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add oats, and use your hands to toss and squeeze mixture until large, moist clumps form. Transfer to freezer to chill while you prepare apples.
  • In another large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart baking dish, and sprinkle with topping mixture. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until golden and bubbling, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: The apples need room to breathe in order to crisp up properly.
  • Use a combination of sugars: Brown sugar and granulated sugar provide a balance of sweetness and flavor.
  • Add a bit of spice: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg will enhance the flavor of the apples.
  • Don't overcook the crisp: The apples should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the crisp warm: Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
