Baking

    Remove pan from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to dice the butter before adding it to the mixer. You will have a big mess if you add butter whole.
  • Every oven is a bit different. Make sure to check your apple crisp a little before the stated time to make sure it doesn't get overdone.
