Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups apples, peeled and sliced (about 4–5 medium apples; Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn work well)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh preferred)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch or similar-sized baking dish.
- Combine in a large bowl the peeled, sliced apples with 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss until apple slices are evenly coated. Let sit 5 minutes to macerate.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading in an even layer.
- Whisk together in another bowl 1 cup flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the 1/2 cup softened butter and use a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingertips to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apples, covering them completely.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
- Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.
Notes
For extra crunch, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts into the topping. This recipe can be prepped ahead and baked later.
