A simple and comforting apple crumble recipe, perfect for weeknights or holidays. This classic dessert features tender baked apples with a sweet, crumbly topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (like Honeycrisp 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 brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • Optional: 1/2 cup rolled oats for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, 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, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If using oats, stir them in now.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  7. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • For a smaller batch, use a 1-quart baking dish and reduce the apple quantity by half.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
