Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 large apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in 1 cup of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In another bowl, mix the 4 peeled and diced apples with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until the apples are evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the pressed crust in the baking dish.
To the remaining crumb mixture, add 1 cup of rolled oats and mix until combined.
Sprinkle the oat crumb mixture evenly over the apple layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and allow the crumble to cool before cutting it into squares for serving.
