Description

A straightforward recipe for a classic apple crumble dessert with a crisp topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4 inch pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
  3. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats for the topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Let the crumble cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard.
  • You can substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a different texture.
