Crisp Topping
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Assembly and Baking

  2. Generously sprinkle the topping mixture over the fruit.
  3. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbly.

Notes

For the best flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples. Consider adding nuts to the topping for extra crunch.
