Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 6 to 8 apples (Granny Smith or your preferred variety)
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of rolled oats
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly. In a large bowl, combine the apple slices with granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until the apples are well coated.
  3. Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Assemble the Crumble: Spread the apple mixture evenly in a baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples, ensuring it's spread out evenly to cover all the apples.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crumble to cool slightly before serving. It pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips

  • Apple Choice: For a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, mix different varieties of apples.
  • Add Nuts: For a bit of crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the crumble topping.
  • Spices Variation: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of ginger for an extra spice kick.
