Ingredients

Crisp

  • 5 pounds Granny Smith apples
  • Grated zest of 1 small orange
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, diced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish. Peel, core and cut the apples into large wedges. Combine with the orange zest, orange juice, sugar, spices and flour. Pour into baking dish.

Mix on low-medium speed until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is the size of peas. Scatter evenly over the apples.
