Ingredients
-
6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
-
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized casserole dish.
-
Prepare Apples: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
-
Make Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the vanilla extract if using.
-
Assemble the Crumble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve: Let the apple crumble cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
