Notes:
For ingredients listed with gram measurements, I recommend measuring in grams for best accuracy.
I highly recommend for flour measurement for the oat topping to be measured in grams. If unable able to measure in grams, be sure to stir the flour first, then spoon into a measuring cup.
It's important to let Apple Crisp cool for at least 10 minutes to set after removing from oven to let oat topping set.
