Beckys Apple Crisp Food

AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN SKILLET APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• FOR THE TOPPING: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine flour, pecans, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl. Stir in butter until mixture is thoroughly moistened and crumbly. Set aside while preparing fruit filling.
• FOR THE FILLING: Toss apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon (if using) together in large bowl; set aside. Bring cider to simmer in 12-inch ovensafe skillet over medium heat; cook until reduced to ½ cup, about 5 minutes. Transfer reduced cider to bowl or liquid measuring cup; stir in lemon juice and set aside.
• Heat butter in now-empty skillet over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add apple mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until apples begin to soften and become translucent, 12 to 14 minutes. (Do not fully cook apples.) Remove pan from heat and gently stir in cider mixture until apples are coated.
• Sprinkle topping evenly over fruit, breaking up any large chunks. Place skillet on baking sheet and bake until fruit is tender and topping is deep golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on wire rack until warm, at least 15 minutes, and serve.

THE BEST APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• For the filling: Whisk together the brown sugar, flour, apple cider, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Peel and core the apples and cut into chunks. Add the apples to the brown sugar mixture and toss to combine.
• Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter cubes and use your fingers to completely work the butter into the flour mixture. The mixture should hold its shape when squeezed.
• Sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling, squeezing some of the mixture into small clumps. Bake until the filling is bubbly, the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown, about 1 hour.
• Let sit for at least 45 minutes and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).
• Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.
• Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Spread evenly over the apple mixture.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.

BEK'S BAKED APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Butter 4 individual casserole dishes. (If you choose to make one large crisp, you'll increase baking time by about 10 minutes.) I often forget the butter. No biggie.
• I love to cook, but hate doing dishes, so I make this all in one pot. In a medium pot (NO HEAT!) combine apples and lemon juice and toss well to coat. Add in the rest of the filling ingredients, brown sugar, white sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir well to combine, breaking up any lumps of sugar or flour.
• Pour equal amounts of apple mixture into the four casseroles. They should be about half full. Set aside.
• In the same pan (see? one less bowl to wash!) melt the butter over medium lo heat. Once butter is melted, turn off heat.
• Add in remaining topping ingredients: oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nuts if you're using them. Stir to combine well, again, breaking up any obvious lumps of sugar or flour.
• **The topping should not be "wet", but if it seems TOO dry, and the butter does not seem to have coated all of the oats, then add in an additional tablespoon of butter. It won't hurt anything.
• Pour mixture equally over the apples in each dish. They should be almost full, but not overflowing.
• Place the dishes on a cookie sheet, just in case the filling does overflow. Bake for 30 minutes (40 if you're making one big crisp).
• Allow to cool, serve with milk, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.

APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Put all the topping ingredients and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl and rub together with your fingers until combined into a crumb-like texture - this can also be done in a food processor. Chill until needed. Will keep chilled for up to two days.
• Toss the apples with the sugar and lemon zest and juice until evenly coated, and tip into a 23cm round baking dish that's at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand and scatter over the topping. Will keep covered and chilled for a day.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/ gas 5. Sit the crisp on a baking tray and bake for 40 mins until the topping is a deep golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then serve with ice cream or custard.
