Apple Crumble
Description
The Apple Crumble recipe starts with peeled, cored, and sliced apples mixed with fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and flour to create a flavorful, slightly thickened fruit base. This mixture sits briefly while the crumble topping is prepared. The topping combines flour, oats, brown and granulated sugars, salt, and cinnamon, then incorporates cold butter by hand until crumbly, which results in a textured, buttery crust after baking.
Once spread over the apple filling in a greased skillet or baking dish, the crumble bakes until golden and bubbling, signaling that the apples are tender and the topping crisp. The contrast between soft, spiced fruit and crunchy topping creates a satisfying dessert experience.
This dish is commonly served warm or at room temperature and pairs well with vanilla ice cream, adding a creamy counterpoint to the baked apples. It also works as an everyday dessert or for special occasions requiring a fruit-forward sweet dish.
Leftovers can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to three days without losing texture or flavor, making it suitable for make-ahead preparation or enjoying over multiple servings.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 8 cups apple peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
For the crumble topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 12 tablespoons butter diced, cold unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine apples, lemon juice, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Gently toss until apples are well coated. Let the apple mixture sit while you prepare the crumble topping.
- For the crumble topping: in a large bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir together with a whisk. Mix in the cold butter with your fingers until the mixture comes together and you have a crumbly topping.
- Place the apple mixture in a greased 12-inch cast iron skillet or greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crumbly is browned and bubbling. Serve warm or at room temperature. I recommend serving with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Store leftover apple crumble covered in the refrigerator for up to three days to maintain freshness and texture.
