Apple Crumble
Apple Crumble layers tender, cinnamon-spiced apple slices beneath a crumbly topping made from oats, flour, and cold butter. The topping is rich with brown and granulated sugars and spices that contrast the juicy fruit beneath. Baking until browned and bubbling, this dessert offers a warm, soft filling with a crunchy, buttery crust, ideal for serving with vanilla ice cream or as a comforting treat.
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.
