Why Is Apple Crisp Not Crispy?
Despite its name, apple crisp is not always “crispy” because it is typically made with a crumbly topping made of flour, butter, and sugar, which does not necessarily stay crispy when baked. Additionally, the moisture from the baked apples can also contribute to the softness of the topping. However, the contrasting textures of the soft, warm apples and crumbly topping create a delicious dessert that is beloved by many.
