Ingredients
- 6 cups diced apples peeled and diced 1-inch pieces
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or apple pie spice
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger optional
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- To make the topping, in a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, ⅓ cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and ginger if using. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter to cut in butter until the mixture starts to stick together and form crumbs the size of large peas, about 3 to 4 minutes. Place in the fridge while preparing the apples.
- Place the sliced apples in a 2qt baking dish and toss with ¼ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over the apple mixture. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until golden and the apples are soft.
- Serve warm or room temperature with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes
- Use cold butter in this recipe and mix the topping until it starts to stick together and form larger pieces. If it seems powdery, it hasn't been mixed enough.
- Refrigerate the topping while prepping the apples, this helps keep it from melting and keeps it crumbly.
- Use firm apples so they don't lose their shape and become mushy while baking. Check the apples early, overbaking can cause mushy apples.
- Adding nuts or granola makes the crumble extra crunchy.
- Prep ahead: Prepare this apple crumble recipe up to 24 hours before baking. If making ahead, toss the apples with a spoonful of lemon juice so they don't brown.
