Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup prunes, pitted and diced
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced prunes, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss everything together until well coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In another mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
If desired, stir in the vanilla extract for additional flavor.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apple and prune filling in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
