Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Granny Smith apples
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish lightly with butter.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the apples. Toss until evenly coated and transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar (2 tablespoons from the measured amount), and salt. Mix well.
Add the butter into the dry ingredients and use your hands or a pastry cutter to work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
