Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or similar-sized dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer them to the prepared baking dish and spread them out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter in until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apples in the baking dish, making sure to cover the top completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
