- Ensure Balanced Room Temperature: Having butter, milk, and eggs at comfortable room temperature allows emulsions to form cleanly, resulting in the tenderest crumb for baked apple crisp stuffed apples.
- Test with a Toothpick: Insert a wooden skewer or toothpick into the center; look for a few moist crumbs rather than wet batter or a bone-dry stick.
