Expert Answer

Take the topping off and drain some of the extra juices from the pan. You can even stick the topping in the oven for a few minutes to let it re-crisp before putting it back on your apple filling.

Definitely! The butter needs to be very, very cold so that it stays in chunks when you incorporate it, which gives you a crumbly shortbread texture.

Question

Should I cover an apple crisp while it is cooking?

Community Answer

It isn't necessary to cover the apple crisp while it is cooking. If you want a nice, crispy brown layer on the top, then yes, you should cover it.

Question

I am baking apple crisp in the afternoon and serving it that evening. Should I leave it out at room temperature or refrigerate it until I serve it? Should I cover it?

This depends on whether you'd like to serve it hot or cold. It is probably best to place in the fridge to ensure that the freshness is preserved. You should cover it to prevent any other scents or tastes from being absorbed into the crisp. If you are serving it heated, just reheat for a few minutes in the oven.
