Classic Apple Crumble
Description
Classic Apple Crumble precisely balances diced Granny Smith apples tossed in cornstarch, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The filling provides tartness with subtle spice. The topping combines oats, slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cold butter, mixed until clumpy. This mixture bakes into a golden, crisp crust over the tender apple base.
The recipe yields a dessert served warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, enhancing richness and texture. Baking time of 30 to 40 minutes ensures a golden crumble ideal for serving after a brief rest.
