Ingredients
- 3 lbs. of apples (around 6 large) - golden delicious, granny smith, or a combination of golden delicious, granny smith, macintosh, etc). (I use all golden delicious)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup sugar (add 2 extra Tbsp or so if using mostly Granny Smith)
- 1 to 1-1/2 Tbsp cinnamon, divided
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 5 Tbsp cold, unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (375 degrees for dark pans).
Peel and core apples. Slice thin.
Toss with lemon juice.
Mix cornstarch, white sugar, half the amount of cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add to apples and toss.
Arrange in a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. ( 8 x 8 baking pan)
Mix flour, brown sugar, remaining half of cinnamon, salt and butter. Cut in butter until crumbly.
Combine with almonds (optional) and sprinkle mixture over apples.
Bake at 400 degrees (375 for dark pans) until browned and bubbly, around 40 - 45 minutes.
Tip: If apple crisp is too tart, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
