Servings: 8

Ingredients

Apples
6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Lemon juice
1 tablespoon
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon
Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon
Brown sugar
1 cup, packed
All-purpose flour
1 cup
Unsalted butter
1/2 cup (cold, cubed)
Oats
1 cup (old-fashioned)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in the oats until well combined, ensuring the mixture is crumbly.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp. If the topping browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
