What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?
- Avoid overmixing the oat topping, as it should be crumbly for the best texture
- Avoid using overly ripe or mushy apples, as they may turn to applesauce during baking
- Avoid skipping the lemon juice, as it adds a nice tartness to balance the sweetness
- Avoid over-baking, as the crisp should be golden brown on top but the apples should still have some bite
- Avoid serving the crisp straight from the oven, as it’s best enjoyed slightly cooled for the flavors to meld together
