WEEKLY FEATURE

The Evercrisp.

A superhero variety cultivated in Pataskala, Ohio by Lynd Fruit Farm, with an "in-your-face candied-apple sweetness" and "a background tang and monstrous crunch" (Bloomberg panel of taste testers). This cross of Fuji's tartness and Honeycrisp's sweetness boasts longer storage life and improved texture than either "parent" variety.

Enjoy this "localest of local" apples, developed right here in Licking County and grown by Bauman Orchards, in your YB share this week! And in this classic, simple apple crisp.

Ingredients

For the filling:

8 Evercrisp apples (or other firm apple) peeled, cored, and chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

For the topping:

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter diced into small cubes
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or softened butter. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg. Toss the mixture until the apples are coated evenly with the sugar and spices. Then, transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, make the topping. Combine the old-fashioned oats, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, cold diced butter, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg, and a pinch of kosher salt. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to mix the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and the butter is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish, covering it completely. Use a silicone spatula or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the topping to even it out.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
Once done, remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious homemade apple crisp! With some coffee, of course.
