The Best Apple Crisp Recipe

Step 1

Peel and core the apples. Use a sharp knife or mandolin to slice the apples into very thin, uniform pieces.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.

Step 3

Add the sliced apples to the pan.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 cup oats, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg.

Step 5

Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in 3/4 cup softened butter. (That's 1 stick plus another half stick.)

Step 6

Sprinkle the streusel over the apples.

Step 7

Bake for 35-40 minutes at 375. It is done when a knife inserted in the center slides in easily (the apples should be fork-tender).

Step 8

Let stand for a few minutes before serving hot or room temperature.

Step 9

Serve with ice cream and this amazing caramel sauce.

Step 10

Serves 12-16.
