Ok so I hate to say that I made this and followed all the directions/ingredients...that just wouldnt be me....So I did make this with just a few adjustments...I left out all of the citrus and used rum extract. I used splenda instead of sugar...and only used 1 stick of butter instead of 2...I was trying to cut out some of the fat...I also used a mix of apples....went apple picking and had about 5 different kinds and they were all mixed up...Im pretty sure it was GingerCrisp, Empire, Cortland, and Golden...It came out DELICIOUS! Will definatley make again!

This apple crisp is amazing! I've made it about 5 times over the past couple months for family dinners and get-togethers and it is a hit every time. I recently have been making it as a crisp/pie by following the recipe exactly except I bake it in a deep-dish pie crust... some may think it takes away from the apples, but my husband and I love the extra crust the pie pastry gives.

I have tried apple crisp both mine and others but this was by far the best I have had! My very picky husband LOVED it! I will make it all the time now! I did not have the orange or lemon zest but it still came out so good! Very simple to put together my children will be making it next time!

This is the best apple crisp I've ever made. I liked the citrus action in the background. I found it refreshing. Another winning recipe from Ina. Thank you !

I am not a fan of apples really, but this was one of the best desserts I ever had! I really think the orange zest made it! I didn't use quite as many apples as the recipe callled for though. Great job Ina!

Just finished eating this apple crisp and it was delicious! Great flavor and awesome amount of topping. I think the 5 lbs. might be off on the recipe, as I had 3 1/2 lbs. and with the topping, my dish was almost overflowing. I used granny smiths as that is what I had on hand, but even with the apple substitution it was a great recipe. I also tweeked the topping a little bit in that I added the oatmeal at the end and hand mixed it, as I really like my oatmeal in a crisp to be as whole as possible.

Very delicious and easy, the only pain is peeling all the apples. I was given a batch of apple from a friends apple tree so im not sure the type but they cooked down quite a bit so a bit soft and mushy but the flavor was great. I used the lemon but no orange, the lemon was just enough citrus for me. I cant wait to try this with different apples, and ive got seven bluberry plants outside that are friuting like crazy, maybe a mix?

I left out the orange and lemon zest, and the orange juice and followed everything else. Could've gone without putting the regular sugar in the topping too. I found it a little too sweet. Also the apples were still cruncy, probably due to the fact I didn't leave holes in the topping. So watch out with that too.

I absolutely loved this recipe and my guests couldn't get enough of it. The topping was perfect and I personally liked the lemon and orange flavor.

I have now made this twice. I will totally agree that orange does absolutely nothing for the flavor profile of this baked dessert. Tasting it with the recipe as written had the end result with my guests staring at me as if something was wrong once they took a bite...I then explained it was the orange they were likely tasting ~ they nodded their heads...& didn't like it. So the next time I took the recipe as a nice little guideline.....Used 6# of Granny Smiths ~ and made the spice & sugar mix with only 2T lemon juice - and omitted the zest of the lemon and fully omitted the orange component. I added a bit more spice to my liking ~ and it's now a nice homey, comfort food, warm baked apple dessert. The orange had the dish tasting mildly floral and pretty weird. Now that I'm back to a more classic style of crisp with tart/sweet lemon as a complement -- it's again everyone's favorite. The mixing of the struesel or crumb topping with the kitchen aid mixer was an awesome way to get uniform crumb texture with no work at all. The recipe is a true keeper ~ (but modified to your personal taste
