About This Recipe
Apple crisp is the dessert to make when apples are at their peak and the evenings turn cool. Sliced apples bake into a soft, cinnamon-scented filling beneath a crunchy, golden topping of oats, brown sugar and butter.
It is far easier than pie — no rolling pin required — and it fills the house with the most wonderful aroma. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Success
- Mixing tart and sweet apples gives the best flavor and texture.
- Cover loosely with foil if the topping browns before the apples are tender.
- Leftovers keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; rewarm in the oven.

Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Toss the apples with the sugar, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread evenly in the dish.
- In a bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Work in the cold butter with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples are bubbling and tender.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
