11416 Apple Crisp with Oatmeal Streusel 1 hr 30 mins 10 mins 8 servings Wed Jan 23 13:40:00 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 04 12:26:08 -0800 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11416 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:26:08 GMT Crunchy topping and tender apples A classic pairing of a buttery, crunchy oat topping and tender apples. TV dinners may not be as popular as they once were, but our nostalgia reminds us that apple crisp was always the best part of the meal. Consider this crisp an homage to our memories, with a crunchy topping blanketing soft, bubbling apples.

Game plan: Adjust the sugar in this recipe to the sweetness of the apples, using 2 tablespoons for exceptionally sweet ones, and 3 if they are on the tart side.

This recipe was featured as part of our DIY TV Dinners story.

  • Heat oven to 350°F and arrange rack in middle. Lightly butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish.
  • Combine apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Place apple mixture in the prepared baking dish and set aside.
  • Mix together brown sugar, oats, flour, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined. With your fingertips, blend in butter pieces until small clumps form and butter is well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle topping evenly over apples and bake until streusel is crispy and apples are tender, about 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool on a rack at least 30 minutes before serving.

    • Beverage pairing: Eifel-Pfeiffer Beerenauslese (half-bottle), Germany. Germany makes some of the world’s finest sweet wines from the Riesling grape, and the wines from the Mosel region in particular can have lovely apple flavors, with hints of pear, honey, orange zest, and spice. Beerenauslese is a designation meaning an extreme selection of highly concentrated sweet grapes that make a fine, clear-flavored, syrupy wine. While sweet, it’s balanced by mouthwatering acidity to keep it perfectly in balance.
