A simple and comforting apple crumble recipe, perfect for a quick weeknight dessert or a holiday treat. This recipe focuses on classic flavors and an easy-to-make topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional, for added texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Add the cold butter cubes.
  4. Using a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If using oats, stir them in now.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  7. Let the crumble cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
