Apple Crumble Recipe
Description
The recipe starts with peeled and thinly sliced Granny Smith apples mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch to create a thickened, sweet filling. The topping combines melted butter with brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and baking powder to form a crumbly mixture chilled before spreading atop the apples. Baking at 350°F for 35-40 minutes yields a bubbling filling and a golden crisp topping.
The cooked apple filling is tender with a pleasantly tart note from the Granny Smith apples, while the topping offers a light crunch and caramel-like sweetness. Serving the crumble warm with optional vanilla ice cream adds creaminess and balance. This dessert suits home dinners or small gatherings as a comforting fruit treat.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for a couple of months if tightly wrapped to preserve freshness and texture. This storage guidance helps maintain the quality of the crumble between servings.
Ingredients
Filling
- 7 cups apple peeled and thinly sliced, Granny Smith variety
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoon cornstarch
Topping
- ½ cup butter melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 inch pan and set aside.
