Ingredients
– 6 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 3/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
6. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
