Preparation

  • Sprinkle crisp topping over apples. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  • Let the apple crisp cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill the Butter: For a crispier topping, use cold butter instead of melted. Prevent Browning: Toss apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Check for Doneness: Apples should be tender but not mushy. Avoid Overmixing: Mix topping until moistened, do not overmix. Add Liquid: Add a splash of apple juice or water if apples are dry. Use a Baking Sheet: Place the dish on a lined baking sheet for easy cleanup. Let it Cool: Allow apple crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes after baking. Check Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer for accurate baking.
