Ingredients

Filling:

5 Granny Smith apples (about 2 pounds), peeled and roughly chopped

1 (11-ounce) bag butterscotch chips

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1 lemon, juiced

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for greasing

Topping:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup quick oats

Pinch kosher salt

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup pecans, chopped

Butter pecan ice cream, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. For the filling: Toss the apples, butterscotch chips, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, allspice, and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Add to the buttered baking dish and dot with butter.
  3. For the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, oats, and salt. Blend the butter into the mixture until it forms pea size lumps. Stir in the pecans and sprinkle over the filling.
  4. Bake until the apples are tender and butterscotch is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Plate with a scoop of butter pecan ice cream on top.

I made this apple crisp with McIntosh and gale apples, because my daughter-in-law gave me the McIntosh and I only had Gales. My sister-in-law grandson was sick so I my 4 Butterscotch Apple Crisp. 1 for my family, 1 for my daughter-in-law, 1 for my sister-in-law and 1 for her daughter, who son was sick. Because I made such a large batch I cut back on the Butterscotch chips, add a little more oatmeal and added more flour to the apples, it was great. My sister-in-law took hers to work. Then call me and asked if I give out my recipe. I gave her the info of food Network and the name of the recipe Butterscotch Apple Crisp. I made this apple crisp at lease 5 times and this was the best. Thanks for this recipe. <br /><br />Mrs Deborah Gray of Omaha, NE<br /><br />
