Directions:Apple Crisp:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and place rack in the centre of the oven. Butter or spray with a cooking spray, a 9 inch deep dish pie plate or a 8x8x2 inch baking dish.
Topping:
Place all the topping ingredients (flour, sugars, spices, butter, oats, and nuts) in a food processor and process until the mixture is crumbly and there are no large pieces of butter visible. (Can also be done with two knives or fingertips.) Set aside while you prepare the filling.
Filling:
Place the apple chunks in a large bowl, along with the berries (if using) and lemon zest. Toss with the lemon juice and sugar. Transfer to your prepared baking dish.
Spread the topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until bubbly and the topping is golden brown. (If you insert the tip of a sharp knife into a chunk of apple, it should be tender, not mushy.) Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to let cool for about 30 minutes before serving.
Serve with softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Refrigerate leftovers and reheat before serving. |
