Martha Stewart Apple Crisp Recipe
This Martha Stewart Apple Crisp Recipe is a fantastic choice. It features tart apples and a very crunchy topping.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds of Granny Smith apples peeled and sliced.
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice for tartness.
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar for the fruit.
- 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour for the juices.
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for a warm spice.
- 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats for crunch.
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour for the topping.
- 1 cup of packed light brown sugar.
- 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter cut small.
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt for the flavor.
Instructions
Preheating Your Oven
- Start by heating your oven to 375 degrees now. Butter the bottom of your large glass baking dish.
Prepare the Fresh Apples
- Peel, core, and slice all the tart green apples. Place them in a large bowl with lemon juice.
Season the Fruit Filling
- Add the granulated sugar, flour, and half the cinnamon. Toss them well until every apple slice is coated.
Fill the Baking Dish
- Pour the apple mixture into your buttered baking dish. Spread them out so they lay very flat today.
Mix the Crumble Topping
- In a medium bowl, mix oats, flour, and brown sugar. Add the salt and the rest of the cinnamon.
Cut in the Butter
- Add the cold butter pieces to the oat mixture. Use your fingers to make large, pea-sized crumbs.
Cover the Sliced Apples
- Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the apple layer. Do not press it down into the fruit slices.
Bake Until Very Bubbly
- Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown. The apple juices should be thick and bubbling high.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for a tart flavor profile.
- Make sure the butter for topping is very cold.
- Cut the apple slices into very even thin pieces.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for an extra crunch.
- Do not overmix the crumble or it gets tough.
- Serve it warm for the best taste and smell.
- Always peel the apples for a very smooth texture.
