Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Dried apricots (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat the fruit evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In another large bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Bake the crumble in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the crumble from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
