Apple Crisp

(8 servings)

Ingredients:

1½ cups All Purpose Flour

1 cup Sugar

1/3 cup Brown Sugar

¾ tsp. Ground Cinnamon

½ tsp. Kosher Salt

2/3 cup Unsalted Butter, cut into pieces

8 cups Fresh Apples, sliced ½ inch thick

2 tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice

1/3 cup sugar

½ tsp. Kosher Salt

1/8 tsp. Nutmeg, freshly grated

1-2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter, room temperature (for baking dish)

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first 5 dry ingredients.  Work in the butter using your hands until it begins to cling together.  In another large bowl, toss apple slices with the lemon juice.  In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg.  Now combine the small bowl mixture with the apples and scrape into a 2-quart buttered baking dish.  Crumble the first bowl mixture over the apples and cover with foil.  Place on a baking sheet in a pre-heated 375-degree oven for 20 minutes.  Carefully remove from oven and remove foil.  Replace in oven and bake another 30-40 minutes or until top is golden and apples are tender.  Let cool 15-30 minutes before serving.
