Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for apples)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar sized pie plate.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ginger, and salt for the topping.
- Cut in the cold butter cubes using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining. Do not overmix.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For an extra crunchy topping, chill the topping mixture for 10 minutes before sprinkling it over the apples.
- Serve this warm apple crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.
- If your apples are very sweet, reduce the sugar in the filling to 2 tablespoons.
