Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Apple Filling:
  • 6 medium apples peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • For the Crumble Topping:
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
  2. Place the sliced apples in a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla, and flour. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Pour in the melted butter and stir until crumbly clusters form.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the apples are tender and bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Pink Lady apples work well. For extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
