Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium-sized apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two 6-ounce ramekins or a small 2-cup baking dish.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg (if using) until evenly coated.
Divide the spiced apples evenly between the prepared ramekins or spread them into the baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix well until uniform.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the oat mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs and holds together lightly when pressed.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples, ensuring full coverage.
Place the ramekins or baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if desired.
