For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the topping. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until the solids turn golden brown and the butter has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before using. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples, such as Gala or Fuji, to create your own unique flavor profile. The Nutty Apple Crisp can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
