Notes
* **Ingredient swaps:** Use Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or a combination of apples. Pecans or walnuts can be added to the topping.
* **Cooking tips:** Slice the apples evenly and avoid cutting them too thin. Do not pack down the topping if you want it extra crisp.
* **Storage tips:** Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a 325°F (165°C) oven.
* **Make-ahead:** Assemble the crisp ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
* **Texture and flavor:** Let the crisp rest briefly after baking so the apple filling thickens while the topping remains crisp. ## Nutrition Nutrition information is estimated per serving. * Calories: 465
