Pearl Market Apple Time--Apple Crisp

Fruit Filling:

6 baking apples, peeled, cored, and cut into wedges

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons flour

Topping:

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks), chilled and cut into small pieces

1/2 cup nuts, coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

For the fruit filling:

Next, in a large mixing bowl, toss together the apples, lemon juice, sugar, and flour. Now, pour the apple mixture into a buttered 2-quart baking dish and set aside.

For the topping:

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Once finished, use a food processor, a pastry blender, or your fingers and work the butter into the flour mixture just until it comes together and large clumps form. Now, fold nuts into mixture.

Next, sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit, and you're almost ready to go. Bake the apple crisp until the fruit is bubbling, and the topping is golden brown and crisp, about 45 minutes.

Finally, serve the apple crisp warm with vanilla bean ice cream or fresh whipped cream, if desired.
