Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the apple mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If using oats, stir them in now.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- To reheat, cover loosely with foil and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
- This recipe can be easily scaled up or down for different serving sizes.
