There is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. This crumble is the perfect treat for cool evenings when you want something sweet and comforting without any fuss in the kitchen.

Because this recipe uses a classic flour based topping instead of oats, the texture is extra buttery and crisp. I love to serve it while it is still warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

🧺 Ingredients

6 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/4 teaspoon salt

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Toss the sliced apples with the half cup of sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a large bowl, then spread them evenly into a baking dish.
3
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and salt together.
4
Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until you have a coarse, crumbly texture.
5
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apples.
6
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling.
7
Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

💡 Tips

You can assemble this dish ahead of time and keep it in the fridge before baking. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and reheat individual portions in the oven or microwave.
