Nothing is more comforting in the fall than a dish prepared with freshly harvested apples. Pop this Aromatic Apple Crisp recipe in the oven and let the heavenly smell waft through your home.

Ingredients:

Filling

5 to 6 Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons of butter, melted

Topping

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oatmeal
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons brown sugar
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and slightly softened

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375° F. Peel, core and chop the apples. We recommend using our Shun Classic 4 1/4-in. Mini Prep Knife.

Toss apples in a bowl with lemon juice, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; add to the apples and toss to combine. Let rest for 10 to 20 minutes.

To assemble topping, in another bowl combine flour, oatmeal and sugars. Slice butter into 8 small pieces, and cut butter into flour with a wooden spoon or clean hands until mixture is crumbly and coarse.

Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread apple mixture in bottom of baking dish and pour melted butter over mixture. Sprinkle with oatmeal topping. Bake at 375° for 30 to 40 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.

Serve warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a dish of vanilla ice cream or a cup of hot coffee, if desired.
