Recipe Notes
The crisp can be prepped several hours ahead of time. Prep the apple filling and place in a pie dish, cast-iron skillet, or individual ramekins. In a separate bowl, mix all the crumble topping ingredients, except butter. Just before you are ready to bake, add the cold butter and sprinkle evenly over the apple filling.
