This apple dessert recipe is adapted from a 50-year-old peach crisp recipe. Although it works well with peaches, it works even better with fresh, crisp cooking apples. If you’re short on time, you can skip sifting the dry ingredients; instead, stir them together until combined, then mix with butter.
