Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup (packed) Light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup (1 stick, cubed) Unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.5 cup Macadamia nuts (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add grated ginger, granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch to the apples. Toss everything together until the apple slices are evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts to the crumble topping.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is fully covered.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly and tender.
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
