A comforting and easy apple crumble recipe, perfect for a weeknight treat or holiday gathering. This classic dessert features tender baked apples with a sweet, crumbly topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (such as 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 light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the apple mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If using oats, stir them in now.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly 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 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer topping, you can add 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • 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.
