🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water

For the Crumble Topping

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water.
3Toss to coat the apples evenly.
4Transfer the apple mixture to a greased 8×8-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
5In a separate mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
6Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
7Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
8Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
9If the topping begins to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
10Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
11This allows the crumble to set slightly and makes it easier to serve.
12Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
