Ingredients

  • 3 ½ lbs apples, about 9 medium apples, peeled, cored, and cut into ½ inch wedges (my apple of choice for this dish is Granny Smith)

  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup white sugar

  • 3 TBSP maple syrup

  • ¾ tsp vanilla

  • Pinch of nutmeg

  • Pinch of Salt

  • For the Toppings:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • ¼ tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp fine salt (scant of, just shy of)

  • 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped

  • 1 cup butter, cold

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter 9×13 baking dish.
  • Mix flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl. Grate butter to the mixture with a cheese grater and blend with a fork until coarse crumbs form. Make sure you don’t overwork the topping into powder. Stir in pecans.
  • Add apples to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with lemon juice and vanilla. Sprinkle with cinnamon, a pinch of salt, nutmeg, and white/brown sugar and maple syrup. I sometimes like pouring 1/4 cup water on top, although this step is not necessary. Sprinkle crumb mixture on top of apples; as you do that, press the crumb mixture together to create differently sized chunks for better texture. Bake in preheated oven until apples are tender and the crisp is golden brown, around 50-60 minutes.
