A simple recipe for a comforting dessert featuring warm, spiced apples under a buttery, brown sugar and cinnamon topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, the second 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt for the topping.
  4. Cut the cold butter into the dry topping ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
  7. Let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Serve this crumble warm with vanilla ice cream or heavy cream.
  • You can substitute half of the flour with rolled oats for a slightly chewier topping.
  • For a deeper flavor, use a mix of apples.
