Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and cardamom until well combined. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, with some pea-sized pieces remaining. (8 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the mixture. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Sprinkle the topping evenly over your prepared apple crisp filling. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Let cool slightly before serving. (10 minutes)

For best results, use cold butter straight from the refrigerator. This will help create the desired crumbly texture.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and cardamom to suit your personal preference.
For a nuttier flavor, consider adding ¼ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping mixture.
Store leftover topping in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
