🥧 How To Make Joy Of Cooking Apple Crisp
Apple Crisp:
- Set the oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Topping:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Combine the flour and butter; use a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips to chop into coarse crumbs.
