HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.

02

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.

03

In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix well.

04

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

05

Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.

06

Bake for 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp. You can test the apples for tenderness by gently piercing them with a fork.

07

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of ground ginger or allspice to the apple filling. A squeeze of lemon juice over the apples before mixing with sugar can also brighten the flavor and prevent browning.

Easy Substitutions

You can use other firm baking apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free all-purpose flour and certified gluten-free oats. If you don't have rolled oats, quick oats can be used, but the texture will be slightly different.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover apple crumble covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through, to restore crispness.
