📋 Ingredients

For the Apple Filling

6 medium apples, peeled and sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

⅓ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cinnamon Crumble Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

🍎 Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and cornstarch. Spread evenly in a baking dish.

In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter and rub with your fingertips until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.

Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is golden and the apples are bubbling and soft.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

💡 Tips

Mix tart and sweet apples for best flavor. Keep the butter cold for a crisp topping. Add a handful of chopped pecans for extra crunch. Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep the crumble crispy.
