Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Granny Smith apples
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon, finely grated Fresh ginger root
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch square or round baking dish and set aside.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples, then toss them with lemon juice in a large mixing bowl to prevent browning.
Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger to the apples. Mix until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, grated fresh ginger, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Drizzle the melted butter and vanilla extract over the oat mixture. Stir with a spoon until the mixture forms clumps and resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture, ensuring the apples are fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
