The apple crisp from my apple-picking day: perfect for your weekday lunches. 8x8 pan, 10 servings.

Got talked into apple picking and now there’s an 11-lb bag of Cortlands sitting in your kitchen? The crisp is the first of three recipes from my apple day (along with the freezer apple pies and the Apfelradln).

Gab’s note: my apples were a lot bigger than expected, so I had to double the topping. If you use a bigger pan, plan on 7 to 8 apples and make 1.5 times the topping.

Zero waste: keep your peels and cores, cover them with water and boil for 45 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth to make apple jelly.
