Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For the Crumble Topping:
1 cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until apples are evenly coated. Spread the mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
- Serve: Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For an extra crispy topping, mix in some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
You can make the apple crumble ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
Use a mix of tart apples (like Granny Smith) and sweet apples (like Honeycrisp) for the best balance of flavor.
