Ingredients
- 5 pounds McIntosh or Macoun apples
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the topping:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 14 by 2-inch oval baking dish.
Peel, core, and cut the apples into large wedges. Combine the apples with the zests, juices, sugar, and spices. Pour into the dish.
To make the topping, combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and cold butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is the size of peas. Scatter evenly over the apples.
Place the crisp on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly. Serve warm.

This is a very tasty recipe. I substituted honey for the sugar in the apple mixture, which turned out very well. My only complaint was the time margin given for the preparation. The pealing of 5 pounds of apples, coring, and slicing, plus the zesting, juicing, combing of dry ingredients, buttering of the dish, and the mixing took considerably longer than 20 minutes - add an hour ... but even with that - the flavour is wonderful, and not too sweet to give to children. We are keeping this recipe for future use. Thank you so much for having this recipe available (loved the zest! ... :-

Perfect! This recipe was delicious. I used the apples I had on hand (Gala rather than the kind listed. I halved the recipe because I didn't need 10 servings, and I still got a 8x8 pan full of it. It was enough for my family of 5 for a desert, and I had leftovers. This recipe is a definite keeper!

Other than changing the type of apples due to availability, I made this recipe as written. It is delicious. I made this for company and it was a big hit. The citrus is muted, NOT overwhelming and is very important to the overall flavor. I definitely recommend giving this a try--you won't be sorry.
