Apple Crisp
Fresh apples call for Apple Crisp! Plan B Mom has shared her favorite recipe, with a good amount of lemon flavor to offset the sweetness.
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 4 pounds firm apples (about 10 apples), such as Ida Red, Granny Smith or Empire varieties
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
For the topping:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup oats
- 2 sticks cold butter, diced
Preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
Peel and core the apples and cut them into large uniform chunks. Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, flour and cinnamon. Transfer to either ten 1-cup ramekins or a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish.
To make the topping, combine the flour, sugars, salt, oats and cold butter in an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes, until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
Spread the topping evenly over the fruit mixture and pat down slightly.
Place the baking dish(es) on a cookie sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the top(s) is browned and the fruit is bubbly. (You can also refrigerate, covered, and bake later for 60-75 minutes.)
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
