Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (peeled, cored, and sliced) Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Transfer the spiced apples to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the cold butter cubes into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring that the buttery crumble mixture is evenly moistened.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the spiced apples, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Allow the apple crumble to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving warm.
Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
