A comforting warm apple dessert perfect for cozy cold nights, featuring tender baked apples spiced with cinnamon and topped with a buttery oat crumble.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Apples

  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Crumble Topping

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel, core, and slice the apples into even pieces. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well coated. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the chopped chilled butter, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar if using. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour and oats mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cinnamon-sugar coated apples in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dessert pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Choose tart apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best flavor contrast.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Adding a handful of chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping adds a nice crunch.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
