Description

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


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for apples)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats

Instructions

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

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or heavy cream.
  • You can substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
