This apple crisp has the most crunchy, delectable topping. My husband has declared that he "can't imagine a better tasting apple crisp." I've prepared this recipe with Gala, Fuji and Honey Crisp apples. I use really large apples - about 4 pounds in all. (Oct-2016: Jona Gold & Mutsu are really good, too!) This recipe was adapted from the one in a Betty Crocker cookbook (the big one with the ring binding that is usually a gift to aspiring cooks... You know the one.)

Ingredients

4-5 large apples, peeled, cored, sliced thin-ish
1 cup almond meal (ground almonds)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup butter, salted, melted
2 cups oats, old fashioned style
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger *optional

How To Make old fashioned apple crisp

Step 1

Peel, core and chop apples. Place them in a 13X9X2 inch baking pan. Note: If you like the finished product to be less "juicy" - toss the apples in a little flour (and I will add a little cinnamon, too) to keep the liquids thick and not soupy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, place all dry ingredients (brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon and almond meal) and mix thoroughly. Note: If using unsalted butter, I like to add a little sea salt to the crumble topping.
Step 3

Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with your hands. (Really smoosh it all together.)
Step 4

Sprinkle the topping all over the top of the apples and coat evenly.
Step 5

Bake crisp on center oven rack at 350F for 40-45 minutes. Apples should be bubbling and topping should be a deep golden color.
