Ingredients
For the filling:
5–6 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
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
