Classic Apple Crisp for Four
Is there any dessert more comforting than a classic homemade apple crisp? Serve this iconic dessert with a scoop of ice cream or drizzle it with sweet cream or syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 large apples, about 4 cups sliced (sweet-tart, like Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, (13 grams)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
For the Topping
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, (107 grams) packed, light or dark
- 1/4 cup flour, (34 grams)
- 1/4 cup quick oats, (23 grams)
- Dash fine sea salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
Instructions
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Lightly butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- Peel and core the apples and cut into 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 3 to 4 cups. Put the apple slices in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice.
- Combine the granulated sugar with the cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir to blend. Add to the apples and toss to blend.
- In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, and salt; stir to blend. Add the butter and mix with your hands or a fork until crumbs are formed.
- Put the apples in the prepared loaf pan and top with the crumbs.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is crisp and browned.
Notes
Honeycrisp apples are excellent, but feel free to use another variety, such as Granny Smith, Cortland, Pink Lady, or Braeburn.
