Apple Crumble (Apple Crisp)
Description
The apple filling combines peeled, cored, and sliced apples coated in granulated and brown sugar, a touch of flour, and cinnamon, then mixed with water to distribute flavors evenly. The crumb topping blends oats with flour, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder, held together with melted butter. The topping’s combination of rolled oats and flour creates a crisp yet slightly chewy texture once baked.
Baking at 350°F allows the apples to soften while the crumble topping crisps and turns golden. The warm spices highlight the fruit’s natural sweetness without overpowering, making this dessert both flavorful and textured. It is well-suited as a cozy seasonal dessert, especially in cooler months.
Apple Crumble is delightful served warm with cold vanilla ice cream or warm custard to add creamy contrast. This classic British dessert balances softness and crunch, sweetness and subtle spice, making it a familiar and satisfying treat.
Ingredients
APPLE FILLING:
- 8 apple medium, or 10 small apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar white
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup water
CRUMB:
- 1 ¼ cup oats or rolled oats for a chewier crumb, quick-cooking
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar white
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup butter melted, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange the sliced apples into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the sugars, flour and cinnamon over the apple slices. Pour in the water and mix everything through until apples are evenly coated.
- In a bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugars, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and melted butter. Mix well using a metal spoon or your fingertips, until the butter has soaked through the dry ingredients (about one minute of mixing or less). Sprinkle evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 40 - 45 minutes, or until the crumb is golden and crisp and the apples are cooked to your liking.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard for added richness.
