# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruit Filling

01 - 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Braeburn), peeled, cored, and sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
03 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

→ Crumble Topping

07 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
09 - 1/3 cup light brown sugar
10 - 1/3 cup rolled oats
11 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - Pinch of salt

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a medium baking dish measuring approximately 8 by 10 inches.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour until the fruit is evenly coated.
03 - Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
04 - In a separate bowl, combine flour, cold cubed butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt. Rub the mixture between your fingertips until it forms coarse crumbs with some larger pieces for texture.
05 - Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples, then bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
06 - Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving warm.

# Best Practices:

01 -
  • Tender apples with warm cinnamon flavor
  • Buttery crumble topping adds a delightful texture
02 -
  • Contains gluten and dairy; use certified gluten-free oats if required
  • Try adding chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch
03 -
  • Use a mix of apple varieties for depth of flavor
  • Don't overmix the crumble topping to keep it crumbly
