Description
Warm, spiced apples baked under a buttery, golden crumble topping — this comforting dessert is a seasonal favorite best enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Apple Filling:
- 2½ pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 to 7 cups)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or all-purpose flour)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8- or 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, toss the apples with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon until well coated.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for deeper flavor.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for extra warmth.
- This crumble is also delicious with a scoop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven.
