Apple Crisp Ingredients
Apple mixture ingredients:
- Apples – I like to use Granny Smith apples, but any firm baking apple (such as Honeycrisp or Golden Delicious) will work. If you use a different type of apple other than Granny Smith, the amount of sugar used in the apple mixture and bake time may need to be adjusted.
- Lemon juice
- White granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Spices – Ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Cornstarch – To help thicken the juices released from the apples while baking and prevent it from being watery.
Oat topping ingredients:
- Old fashioned cooking oats
- All-purpose flour
- Brown sugar
- Spices – Ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Chopped pecans
- Butter
How to Make It
Following is a very brief overview of how to prepare. Please see the recipe card for full detailed instructions.
- Prepare the apple mixture. Thinly slice apples that have been cored and peeled. Toss the apples in lemon juice in a large bowl.
