What apple is best for apple crisp?

I like to use Granny Smith apples for an apple crisp. They have a tart flavor and are firm enough to hold their shape. Some other good baking apples are Fuji, Haralson, and Cortland. You can even mix and match multiple apple varieties.

What is the difference between apple crumble and apple crisp?

While both an apple crisp and apple crumble are a baked apple dessert, the main difference is the topping. A crisp topping typically contains oats to give it its 'crispiness' and a crumble topping is similar to a streusel topping made with butter, flour, and sugar.

Do you put oats in apple crumble?

Oats are typically not used in the topping for an apple crumble. Oats are used in an apple crisp topping.

How do you thicken apple crisp?

Adding cornstarch to the apples in the apple crisp helps thicken the apple juices and sugar. The other key is to let the crisp cool a bit before serving as it will thicken as it cools.

2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pounds apples, 5-6 medium apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Butter, to grease dish

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prep - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 or 9 inch baking dish.
Apple Filling - Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4 inch slices and add to a large bowl. Toss the slices with the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss well to evenly coat. Transfer to the greased baking dish and press into an even layer.
Oat Crisp Topping - In the same bowl from the apples, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Once combined, mix in the melted butter. You should be able to squeeze the topping together and have it hold its shape - like wet sand.
Top the Apples - Scatter the topping over the apples - leaving a mix of small and large clumps.
Bake - Bake the crisp for 50 to 60 minutes until the juices are bubbling, the apples are tender (when tested with a sharp knife), and the topping is golden brown. If the topping is getting overly brown, you can loosely tent with foil.
Cool and Serve - Allow the crisp to cool for at least 15 minutes so the juice can thicken up.

Notes

Leftover apple crisp can be stored in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 days.
