Holy Trinity Apple Crisp

By Hklbrries

Peter Klein's staff at Seedling Fruit coined the term "holy trinity of pie apples" to refer to their favorite combination of Northern Spy, Golden Grimes and Ida Red. Baked together they make a tastebud-bursting combination. If you can't find them, try Granny Smith, Rome Beauty and Gala.

Ingredients

• Topping:
• 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 12 tbsp (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• Filling:
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp ground cloves
• 4 pounds (about 10) apples, peeled, cored and sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F.

To make the topping, combine oats, flour, sugars and salt. With a pastry blender or hands, cut in butter until topping is crumbly.

To make the filling, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves in a large mixing bowl. Add apple slices and toss to coat. Spoon into a 3-quart baking dish and cover with topping. Bake about 50 minutes or until fruit bubbles and topping is browned.
