EXTRA-CRISPY APPLE CRISP
Hands-on time: 35 minutes
Time to table: 90 minutes
Serves 8 (easy to halve)

* APPLES Juice of two lemons
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 2 teaspoons cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon nutmeg
* 6 large apples (see TIPS), peeled, quartered, 'thirded' and 'thirded' again

* TOPPING 1/2 cup flour
* 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (the secret ingredient!)
* 1/2 cup oatmeal (old-fashioned or quick, not instant)
* 1/2 cup walnuts (see TIPS)
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon table salt
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cold or at room temperature

Preheat oven to 375F.

APPLES In a large bowl, stir together all the ingredients except apples. Drop in the apple pieces as they're prepped, stirring often so that each piece is lightly covered.

TOPPING In a separate bowl, stir together all the ingredients except the butter. With your hands, work in the butter until small, even clumps begin to form.

ASSEMBLE Lightly butter a shallow baking dish such as a quiche pan or pie pan. Transfer apples into the dish, then top evenly with the topping. (If making ahead of time, stop here and let rest for 3 - 4 hours.)

BAKE Bake for 50 - 60 minutes, covering with foil or a baking sheet for the last 15 minutes if the topping starts to get a little dark. Let cool a bit.

SERVE Serve warm, plain or dolloped with whipped cream. Just whip a cup of heavy cream with a tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and a 1/2 teaspoon of black walnut extract or vanilla.
