Apple Crisp
with Cinnamon Pecan Crumble I 8-10 Servings
There are few things more delicious than a fruit crisp. Lightly sweetened apples are mixed with bright lemon zest, then topped with a buttery, cinnamon-scented pecan crust. Once baked, the filling turns bubbly while the crumbly topping gets golden and toasty. The best part, though? This foolproof dessert is as easy to make as it is to devour.

Instructions
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Dice 9 TBSP butter into ½-inch pieces, then refrigerate to keep cold. Zest and quarter lemon; squeeze 2 TBSP lemon juice into a large bowl. Peel, core, and dice apples into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop pecans. Add apples, ½ cup sugar, 2 TBSP flour, and 2 tsp lemon zest to bowl with lemon juice; toss to combine. Transfer mixture to prepared dish in an even layer.
Wipe out bowl used for apples. In same bowl, combine pecans, 1¼ cups flour, ¾ cup sugar, ¾ tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add diced butter and 1-2 tsp water to bowl with flour mixture. Using your hands, rub butter into flour until mixture reaches a sandy, crumbly texture and sticks together when squeezed. TIP: If mixture seems dry, stir in 1-2 tsp more water.
Evenly sprinkle topping mixture over apple filling (do not press into apples). Bake on middle rack until topping is golden brown and apples are tender, about 45 minutes. TIP: If topping browns too quickly, loosely tent baking dish with foil.
Let apple crisp cool slightly before serving (or before covering and refrigerating for later). TIP: We highly recommend serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
