Select a tart, crisp apple to balance the sweetness of the topping. Gravenstein, Pippin and Braeburn are good choices, but local apples such as Rome Delicious may be the best choice of all. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Hands on time: 30 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
-
8 medium apples (about 2 1/2 pounds)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Have ready an unbuttered 2-quart earthenware or glass baking dish, 2 inches deep.
Peel, core and cut the apples in half and then into 1-inch chunks. Spread them evenly in the baking dish.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Or do this with a mixer or in a food processor, taking care not to blend the butter too thoroughly. Scatter the topping evenly over the fruit. Tap the dish on the counter once or twice to settle the crumbs.
Bake until the topping is golden brown, the juices are bubbling and the apples are tender when pierced with a skewer, 50 to 55 minutes.
