  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the filling:

56 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your choice), peeled, cored, and sliced

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the crumble topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

¾ cup rolled oats

½ cup brown sugar (or white sugar if preferred)

½ tsp cinnamon

½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

  2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Spread this apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  3. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

  4. Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

  5. Serve: Let it cool slightly, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or microwave for a quick reheat.

Variations:

Try adding nuts like walnuts or pecans to the crumble for extra crunch.

For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free flour blend.

Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the filling for more warmth and flavor.
