Ingredients
For the crumble topping
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 tablespoons unsalted cold butter cut into small cubes
For the apple filling
- 4 pounds apples (9 to 12) assorted varieties, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (20 grams) or quick-cooking tapioca (20 grams)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- vanilla ice cream for embellishing (optional but really necessary)
Instructions
Make the crumble topping
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C) and adjust a rack to the middle of the oven.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and teaspoon salt. Add the butter and, working with your fingertips, a fork, or a pastry blender, combine the mixture until the crumbs are pea-size. You'll have more than you need so you can stash half the mixture in a resealable bag and place it in the freezer for another crumble on another day.
Make the apple filling
- Toss the apples in a large bowl. Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, flour or tapioca, and salt and gently toss to combine.
Bake the apple crumble
- Spoon the filling into a baking dish, ideally one that's 11 inches by 7 inches but a dish that's 9 inches by 13 inches will also work as will a couple 9-inch square baking dishes. Spoon the remaining topping evenly over the fruit filling. Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil to catch any spills. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the top is nicely browned, about 1 hour. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover it with a sheet of foil.
- Let the apple crumble rest for maybe 15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
