Crispiest Apple Crisp

Directions

Ingredients :

5 apples – peeled, cored, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch slices

½ lemon, juiced

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (such as Grape-Nuts®)

½ cup melted butter

¼ cup white sugar

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter

⅓ cup brown sugar

⅓ cup white sugar

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon water

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Toss sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

Mix flour, rolled oats, wheat and barley nugget cereal, melted butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar together in a large bowl.

Step 4

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, and cinnamon into melted butter until sugar begins to dissolve, 3 to 4 minutes. Add apples and water; continue cooking and stirring until apples soften and are coated with sauce, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Pour apples and sugar mixture into a 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle topping evenly over the apple filling.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and the filling is bubbling up around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
