This warm and buttery Apple Crumble is filled with tender cinnamon-spiced apples and topped with a golden, crunchy oat topping—an easy, comforting dessert perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the apple filling:
  • 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • For the crumble topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour until evenly coated. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping. Add the cubed cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream.

Notes

  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for balanced flavor and texture.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave.
