Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and diced)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 sheet Pastry pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 pieces Small mason jars (8 oz each)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease the insides of 6 small mason jars.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss until the apples are well coated.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the apple mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
To make the crumble topping, combine the cold diced butter, rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt in a medium bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use the lid of the mason jars or a similarly sized round cutter to cut out 6 circles of pastry. Place one pastry circle at the bottom of each mason jar, pressing gently.
Spoon a heaping portion of the apple mixture into each jar, filling them about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling in each jar, pressing lightly to help it adhere.
Place the mason jars on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Carefully remove the jars from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence, or seal and refrigerate the jars for up to 3 days for later enjoyment.
