Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced), peeled, cored, and sliced (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 0.5 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1–2 Tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
- Pinch ground nutmeg or allspice (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and slice 6-8 apples (6 cups). Toss them with 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until fragrant. Spread the apple mixture evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Make Crumble Topping: In a bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup light brown sugar, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 0.5 cup old-fashioned rolled oats. Cut in 0.5 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter until coarse crumbs form. (If the mixture appears too dry, add 1-2 Tablespoons of ice-cold water).
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the prepared apples in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
If the crumble topping looks dry, add 1-2 Tbsp ice-cold water. For peak flavor, use firm, blemish-free apples. Apples pair well with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla. A splash of lemon juice can prevent browning and brighten apple flavor. For extra crunch, add 0.25 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble.
