Ingredients
- 6 cups of peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Feel free to substitute the granulated sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile, and if you prefer a gluten-free version, simply swap the flour with almond or oat flour.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it in an even layer.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples, making sure the entire surface is covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the gooey, warm goodness with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
