Notes

  • Slice the Apples Thin: Be sure to slice your apples on the thinner side so they soften all the way through during baking as thick slices can end up undercooked and crunchy in a not-great way.
  • Use Honeycrisp (or Mix in Granny Smith): Honeycrisp apples are wonderfully sweet and tender when baked, but if you want a more complex, slightly tart crisp, try using half Granny Smith — it really levels things up.
  • Serve It Warm Right Out of the Oven: This crisp is best enjoyed warm, when the topping is at peak crunchiness. Serve it straight from the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over the top for the full experience.
