Caloriesper servingIngredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.5 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 5 pounds (about 12) tart apples, such as Granny Smith
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- 1Make crisp mixture: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Using an electric mixer or a pastry cutter, cut in butter until the mixture forms pea-size pieces.
- 2Press crisp mixture into pan: Press 2/3 of the mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch springform pan.
- 3Preheat the oven; peel and slice apples: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples, cut into thin slices, and place in a bowl. Pour off any accumulated liquid. Toss apple slices with remaining teaspoon cinnamon and lemon juice.
- 4Assemble: Transfer apples to the prepared pan, pressing down gently as you pack them in (they will mound above the edge of the pan). Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top.
- 5Bake: Put the pan on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- 6Cool in pan: Run a knife around the edge of the pan, and let the cake cool in the pan to set. Serve at room temperature, dusted with confectioner's sugar if desired.
