Notes

Substitutions:
  • If desired, only one apple type can be used in this recipe. Just make sure it's a baking apple such-as; granny smith, gala, or honeycrisp.
  • To make this crisp vegan, use your favorite plant-based butter.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use your favorite 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
 
Expert Tips:
  • Make sure your butter is cold when making the topping! You can also use an electric mixer to make the topping.
  • Remember to wash, peel, and core your apples.
  • The crisp should be perfectly done after about 1 hour and 30 minutes of baking. To see if it’s done, you can give it a small shake. If it’s mostly set, then it should be ready to take out.
  • Make sure the topping coats the entire filling! You don’t want any exposed filling.
  • As this cooks, it will rise slightly and then fall back down when you take it out of the oven.
