Apple crisp is a classic dessert that has won over palates in various regions of Latin America and the world. Although its name may vary slightly from country to country, its essence remains the same: a base of fresh fruit covered with a sweet and crunchy mixture that is baked until it achieves a golden and irresistible texture. In countries like Mexico and Argentina, it is also known as "apple crumble" or simply "baked apple dessert." This dish has its roots in Anglo-Saxon cuisine, where it became popular in England and the United States during the 19th century, and thanks to migration and globalization, it is now part of the traditional Latin American recipe book, adapting to local ingredients and regional tastes.
Its popularity is due to the perfect combination of juiciness and crunchiness, in addition to being a simple and very versatile dessert to prepare. The Granny Smith apples, generally used, provide a touch of acidity that contrasts with the sweetness of the topping, creating a delicious and balanced experience. Furthermore, this dessert is ideal for any time of the year and can be accompanied by ice cream, cream, or simply enjoyed on its own.
