  • 2 lbs Sugar, granulated

Steps:

Apple Mix

    No need to peel the apples. They add great texture and save time during production.

  1. Using a large mixing bowl, combine all the apple ingredients. Toss to coat the apple slices.
  2. Divide apple mixture between two, 4-inch, sprayed, hotel pans.

Topping

  1. Using a large mixing bowl or VCM, combine the flour and both sugars.
  2. Grate the frozen butter using a food processor.
  3. Add grated butter to flour mixture. Mix to create a "sand-like" consistency.
  4. Add the oats and mix to combine.
  5. Divide the topping evenly between pans.

    This crisp can be prepped the day prior to service.

    Hold at 41°F or below.

Bake & Serve

  2. Cook to 135°F or higher.

  3. Hot hold, uncovered, until served.
  4. Hold at 135°F or above.

  5. Use a No. 6 scoop to portion for a 1/2 cup serving.
