The Tougas Family Farm bakes and sells tray after tray of this delicious apple crisp every fall at their farm store located in Northborough, Massachusetts. This recipe was originally printed in The Boston Globe and is adapted from the Tougas Family Farm Cookbook which you can find online here.

Served with some vanilla ice cream – this is the perfect fall dessert!

It’s best to use a combination of both apples that stay firm while baking (such as Cortland, Honey Crisp or Gravenstein) and some apples that cook down to a soft consistency when baking (such as MacIntosh). This recipe is very versatile and you can use a mix of apples depending on what is available in your area. The apple mixture is then topped with a generous topping of flour, oats, brown sugar and butter that bakes into the perfect crisp.

Slices of sweet apples are combined with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg plus a pinch of salt and a few tablespoons of flour (which help to thicken the juices from the apples into the perfect, sweet creamy sauce) and then placed in a large casserole dish. (If using oil, just stir it in.) Portion crumbles evenly over the apples in the pan.

And over these last few years, I tried many other apple crisp recipes – but none compared to this one!īut, eureka! I found this apple crisp recipe a few weeks ago (in my binder, just filed in the wrong section…) and I was finally able to make it again! This apple crisp more than lived up to memory, and my husband Jack thinks it’s the best apple crisp he has ever eaten! In a separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except butter, then cut butter in with a fork or pastry cutter until small crumbles form. I looked through every page of my recipe binder with no luck! I tried recreating this apple crisp from memory – I had made it so many times that I remembered the combination of ingredients, but not the exact proportions. Every fall during apple-picking season, I’d pull this recipe out of a binder that I keep of old tried-and-true recipes I’ve collected, and I would bake this perfect apple crisp. This amazingly delicious, classic Apple Crisp recipe had been my go-to apple crisp recipe for years.
