Notes

Apple Selection and Preparation: Choose a mix of sweet and tart apple varieties for the best flavor and texture in your apple crisp. Popular choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji apples. Ensure that the apples are peeled, cored, and sliced evenly to ensure even cooking and a uniform texture in the finished dish.
Topping Texture: To achieve a crisp and crunchy topping for your apple crisp, ensure that the butter is evenly distributed throughout the topping mixture. Use melted butter and mix it thoroughly with the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This ensures that the topping bakes evenly and develops a deliciously crispy texture.
Serve Warm with Optional Toppings: For an extra indulgent treat, serve your apple crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. The combination of warm, tender apples with the cold, creamy ice cream and sweet caramel sauce creates a delightful contrast in flavors and textures. Serve the apple crisp immediately after baking while it's still warm for the best experience.
