Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 4 cups apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
Seasonings and Fat:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Slice apples into uniform pieces and gently coat with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, ensuring each slice is evenly seasoned.
- Transfer the spiced apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading them in a single layer for consistent cooking.
- Create the crumble topping by combining flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted butter, mixing until the texture resembles coarse, irregular clusters.
- Generously distribute the crumble mixture across the apple layer, covering the entire surface to create a textured, golden-brown top.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring until the topping turns a rich golden color and the apples become soft and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the crumble rest for 10-15 minutes, allowing the juices to settle and the topping to crisp slightly before serving.
Notes
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the same delightful texture.
- Add a handful of chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the crumble topping for extra crunch and nutty depth.
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp to create a more complex, balanced flavor profile.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate this comforting dessert into a restaurant-worthy treat.
