This Apple Crumble features soft, cinnamon-spiced apples that are baked under a golden, crunchy crumble topping made from butter, flour, sugar, and oats. It’s the perfect combination of sweet, tart, and crunchy. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a comforting dessert that’s always a hit.

Ingredients (for 6 servings):

For the apple filling:

  • 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (to thicken)

For the crumble topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the apple filling:
    Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and cornstarch until well-coated. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  3. Make the crumble topping:
    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You want the butter to be in pea-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble the crumble:
    Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  5. Bake:
    Bake the apple crumble for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover the dish with foil and continue baking until done.
  6. Serve:
    Let the apple crumble cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
