Instructions
To prepare the apple layer
Mix together the brown sugar, corn starch, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined, then toss together with the prepared apples.
Next, pour the apple juice, melted butter and vanilla extract over the apples and toss together gently. Pour the apples into a greased 10 inch deep dish pie pan or a 9x13 baking dish.
To prepare the crumb topping.
Mix together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and baking powder well.
Using your hands, rub the butter thoroughly through the dry ingredients.
When the butter is fully incorporated press t the crumble mixture together in handfuls so that it holds together and break off chunks of crumble about the size of the top of your forefinger, all over the top of the prepared apples. Press down very lightly and bake for about 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. A scoop pf really good vanilla bean ice cream is incredible with this crisp.
