Notes
I used a combination of fuji and gala apples. If you use a tart variety like granny smith, your apple crisp will need a little bit more sugar.
Wash and zest the orange and lime before juicing them. You will have some juice leftover.
Orange juice is the best surprise in this recipe, so I highly recommend not omitting it.
Feel free to double the recipe of topping if you like more crisp to apples ratio.
